Writing in the new American Literary Genre of Senior Adult
The Third Half of Our Lives
Maxine Hong Kingston (“Woman Warrior”):
“…the perfect book for me to read in my oldest age. Walter and Jerry face
the ultimate challenges—how to live alone, how to reconcile with family, how to know the self at last. They share their findings—their wisdom—with each other
and with us. The interchange between the two old guys is positively Socratic.”

Kirkus Reviews:
Two men reflect on what went right and wrong during their long lives in this novel. Socratic dialogue on growing very old. These two men of the Silent Generation might not confront any of the really intriguing issues—from their
white maleness to the sex lives of octogenarians—but they do hit the classics:
parenthood, accomplishments, and the point of it all. A philosophical tale about
two men in old age.
