{"product_id":"9781553657866","title":"I Feel Great About My Hands: And Other Unexpected Joys of Aging","description":"In our youth-obsessed world of Botox, plastic surgery and anti-wrinkle creams, Nora Ephron struck a chord with \u003ci\u003eI Feel Bad about My Neck\u003c\/i\u003e, a collection of essays that included several lamentations on the deterioration of her aging body. Women's advocate and acclaimed writer Shari Graydon set out to counter the supposed downhill slide-inspired grief by inviting notable women-all over fifty-to provide an alternative perspective. The result is a colorful anthology that pays homage to Nora Ephron but challenges the melancholy with a lively, often thoughtful, sometimes irreverent and ultimately uplifting celebration of the wonderful aspects of maturity.\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eI Feel Great about My Hands\u003c\/i\u003e is a collection of stories, essays and poems that showcases a diversity of voices—middle-aged, senior, straight, gay, Native, maternal, analytical, sentimental, political. But all of these women are embracing—some warmly, some perhaps grudgingly—the changes, discoveries and wisdom that come with age. From Gemini award-winning funny woman Mary Walsh's tongue-in-cheek romp about the preparation provided by years of playing a \"big, loud, opinionated old bag,\" to celebrated poet Lorna Crozier's hilariously graphic contribution of \"My Last Erotic Poem\" (\"Who wants to hear \/ about 26 years of screwing, \/ our once-not-unattractive flesh \/ now loose as unbaked pizza dough \/ hanging between two hands before it's tossed?\"), this bold anthology captures a spectrum of viewpoints that nonetheless evoke a universal understanding of the triumphs that come only with years of accumulated experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoyalties of the book will benefit Media Action, an organization dedicated to challenging the underrepresentation, stereotyping and sexual objectification of women in the media.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Douglas \u0026 McIntyre Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47049137520880,"sku":"9781553657866","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781553657866_p0.jpg?v=1763752664","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781553657866","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
