In Paul Casey's \"Katie Couric Is No Friend of Mine,\" a colonoscopy, not a red convertible, marks his initiation into mid-life. Germaine Koh, in \"Thoughts on Aging,\" is the oldest player in her roller derby league, confounded by her changing body. Ursula K. Le Guin's \"Dogs, Cats, and Dancers: Thoughts about Beauty\" meditates on human self-consciousness--it is aging humans who find their bodies surprising. And in \"Death,\" Donald Hall rejects euphemisms: he's not going to \"pass away;\" he's going to die.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 298\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.67 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 04, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52515231826227,"sku":"9780692753996","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/cXJrWjlFVFBXeVRWbWVSU2hTRGRxQT09.webp?v=1760399984","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/aging-an-apprenticeship-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
