An NPR E book of the Year, "worth, oh well, its weight in silver. . . . brilliant and eloquent." (The New York Times E book Review) An upbeat memoir to savor and admire, Not Lifeless Yet proves that in your old age you can still be going strong . . . and having a great time! "Later years is a shipwreck," Charles de Gaulle once observed. Not, says Herb Platinum in this exciting, often amusing memoir of his first seven generations. He is plainly enjoying every instant to its fullest. That is a book about how precisely time overtakes us, how reminiscence, reduction, expectation, pain, success, failure-the lifelong deposition of dreams and reality-crowd about us with every moving day. Combining a fascinating collection of people, places, and key incidents from a long life in to the alembic of his ever-fertile creativity, Platinum has distilled silver from his uncanny capability to recall interactions, anecdotes, atmosphere, and revealing to detail. By transforms wickedly funny ("Prostate surgeries and hysterectomies are not immediately noticeable at art gallery opportunities.") and coming in contact with ("It's harder to learn how to laugh alone."), Not Dead Yet, in this years of overheated memoirs, will surely find its way to a grateful audience both young and young in mind.
