In this candid and erudite memoir, William Ian Miller examines the inevitable cognitive erosion that accompanies the aging process. Blending personal reflection with literary analysis, the author navigates the indignities of memory loss and mental decline with a sharp, self-deprecating wit that transforms a somber subject into a compelling narrative of intellectual endurance.
