Produktinformationen zu „The Collected Memoirs Volume One (ePub)“
Three memoirs about isolation, aging, and death from an author whose "private self is as intelligent and generous as her public persona" (Publishers Weekly).
Fifty Days of Solitude: Faced with a rare opportunity to experiment with true solitude, Doris Grumbach decided to live in her coastal Maine home without speaking to anyone for fifty days. A New York Times Notable Book, the result is a "quiet, elegantly written" recollection about what it means to write, to be alone, and to come to terms with mortality (Publishers Weekly).
The Pleasure of Their Company: As her eightieth birthday approaches, Doris Grumbach uses the event as an opportunity both to look backward and to grow. She weaves a delightful tapestry of "surprising and meaningful observations," allowing readers a glimpse into her life and the characters that have peopled her nearly eight decades on Earth (Library Journal).
Extra Innings: This New York Times Notable Book follows a year in Doris Grumbach's life, beginning with the release of her memoir Coming into the End Zone, and revealing that she possesses as keen an eye in her seventies as she did when she wrote The Spoil of Flowers thirty years earlier. In this "clear, honest picture of her own old age," Grumbach details each passing month with their trials and triumphs (Library Journal).

Pressezitat
Praise for Fifty Days of Solitude“Graceful . . . Most rewarding are Grumbach’s comments on books and authors; a lengthy reading list could be constructed from this small memoir. Vignettes of intriguing acquaintances are also deftly sketched.” —Kirkus Reviews
Praise for The Pleasure of Their Company
“A provocative, beautifully crafted personal history and meditation on death . . . After reading this slim volume, readers will be convinced that Grumbach’s private self is as intelligent and generous as her public persona.” —Publishers Weekly
“This collection of wise ramblings reveals a vibrant and perceptive older woman who has lived the fullest of lives and delights in sharing her surprising and meaningful observations.” —Library Journal
Praise for Extra Innings
“Though often pessimistic and cynical, [Grumbach] gives a clear, honest picture of her own old age and of how her world has changed for the worse. . . .While some of what she says borders on triteness, she says it all so beautifully that one hates to see the book end.” —Library Journal
