Old Age: A Beginner's Guide

Vanity Fair columnist Michael Kinsley escorts his fellow Boomers through the door marked "Exit."

The notorious baby boomersâ€”the largest age cohort in historyâ€”are approaching the end and starting to plan their final moves in the game of life. Now they are asking: What wasÂ thatÂ all about? Was it about acquiring things or changing the world? Was it about keeping all your marbles? Or is the only thing that counts after youâ€™re gone the reputation you leave behind?

In this series of essays, Michael Kinsley uses his own battle with Parkinsonâ€™s disease to unearth answers to questions we are all at some time forced to confront. â€œSometimes,â€ he writes, â€œI feel like a scout from my generation, sent out ahead to experience in my fifties what even the healthiest Boomers are going to experience in their sixties, seventies, or eighties.â€

This surprisingly cheerful book is at once a fresh assessment of a generation and a frequently funny account of one manâ€™s journey toward the finish line. â€œThe least misfortune can do to make up for itself is to be interesting,â€ he writes. â€œParkinsonâ€™s disease has fulfilled that obligation.â€
