PRIVILEGE OF AGING by Kamla K Kapur

by: Kamla K Kapur




With ageing hurtling towards me, I like to read any book that can contemplate the process calmly. No one has yet made me joyful about the prospect of death but I carry on in hope! This is a very autobiographical account full of anecdotes and musings on ageing from someone who at the time of writing is I think 71. She lives with her partner in the Indian Himalayas and San Diego California. She writes very well and the book is full of literary references from both the Indian and American traditions. It’s very transparent and honest and, as the title indicates, we are encouraged to have a grateful attitude towards having lived a long time and to have been in a position to age! I am looking forward to reading this book in depth.
