[A] love story that braids together intimate self-revelation with a rich meditation on the literature of aging.'-- Stephen Greenblatt. On Susan Gubar's seventieth birthday, she receives a beautiful ring from her husband, a gift that startles her into an appreciation of their luck. As she contemplates their sustaining relationship, Susan considers how older lovers differ from their youthful counterparts--and from ageist stereotypes. When her husband encounters age-related disabilities, Susan procrastinates over moving from their burdensome house in the country to a more manageable town apartment by searching out literature on the longevity of desire by authors from Ovid and Shakespeare to Toni Morrison and Marilynne Robinson. During subsequent months of care-giving, her own ongoing cancer treatments, and apartment-hunting, Susan studies the obstacles many older couples overcome and marvels at the passion that buoys her own relationship. A memoir proving that love and desire have no expiration date, Late-Life Love is a resounding retort to negative valuations of old age and a celebration of second chances"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Gubar, Susan, $d 1944- 650 0 $a Older women $v Biography. 650 0 $a Love in old age. 650 0 $a Spouses. 650 0 $a Women college teachers $v Biography. 650 0 $a Love in literature. 941 $a 11 952 $l CPPC926 $d 20231111011228.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010020526.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20211009012333.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722060425.0 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20200829014721.0 952 $l FCPB384 $d 20191210010632.0 952 $l AAPF906 $d 20190717040126.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20190223021408.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190202011935.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20190126010830.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20181206010235.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C38C17C8F53611E88E37796097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
