Life in a day a memoir

A look into the daily life of one of America & rsquo;s great memoirists At seventy-seven Doris Grumbach is as sharp as ever, and in Life in a Day she examines the experiences of her later years, from the dreaded writer & rsquo;s block to the many hours she has spent reading to the effects of an increasingly modern and interconnected world. Imbued with Grumbach & rsquo;s characteristic candor and verve, Life in a Day is a celebration of the meaning to be found in the quotidian.

With charming illustrations that include a Duchamp painting, postcards from past excursions, and fragments torn from newspapers, Life in a Day is an elegant meditation on age and memory.
