Now, in the \"unknown, unanticipated galaxy\" of very old age, he is writing searching essays that startle, move, and delight.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHall paints his past: \"Decades followed each other-thirty was terrifying, forty I never noticed because I was drunk, fifty was best with a total change of life, sixty extended the bliss of fifty . . .\" And, poignantly, often joyfully, he limns his present: \"When I turned eighty and rubbed testosterone on my chest, my beard roared like a lion and gained four inches.\" Most memorably, Hall writes about his enduring love affair with his ancestral Eagle Pond Farm and with the writing life that sustains him, every day.","brand":"Tantor Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47169533051120,"sku":"2940170461769","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170461769_p0.jpg?v=1763804973","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170461769","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
