About this title: This memoir chronicles the experiences of the celebrated British writer in his old age.The tone is melancholic as he shares the moving account of his wife's funeral and his bouts with incontinence, his eventual blindness, and the ever-present dread of Alzheimer's. However, much of the book hits lighter notes, as he mingles with the celebrity personalities, like Franco Zeffirelli, who populate his life.
