Jan Morris, one of âBritainâs greatest living writersâ (Times, UK), returns with this whimsical yet deeply affecting volume on life as a redoubtable nonagenarian.
The irrepressible Jan Morrisâauthor of such classics as Venice and Triesteâis at it again: offering a vibrant set of reminiscences that remind us âwhat a good, wise and witty companion Jan Morris has been for so many readers for so longâ (Alexander McCall Smith, New York Times Book Review).
âLike Michel de Montaigneâ (Danny Heitman, Wall Street Journal), Morris waxes on the ironies of modern life in all their resonant glories and inevitable stupiditiesâfrom her daily exercise (a âstatutory thousand paces of brisk walkâ) to the troubles of Brexit; her enduring yet complicated love for America; and honest reflections on the vagaries and ailments of aging. Both intimate and luminously wise, Thinking Again is a testament to the virtues of embracing life, creativity, and, above all, kindness.
