Did you just forget why you went into the closet? Are you more than a little perplexed by the meaning of a Twitter? What's more, do you find yourself starting to seriously contemplate what happens when the final lights go out? Congratulations. You are officially old. Now that you've established that, author Cas Dunlap encourages you to cheer up, finish your business, and rage during your final years.
In twenty-five stories that span the human experience from frivolity to grief, Days of Rage is a comic and comforting collection that offers a philosophical look at the aging process, be it through exploring a poignant interaction at a nursing home or witnessing how one person copes with the unexpected passing of a soul mate.
Together, this stirring, gently humorous collection reminds us that, rich or poor, gifted or not, we are bound to get old. That is, if we are lucky. By casting reflective, wry light on the human condition, these stories drolly affirm the truth about aging, while they also serve as a rallying cry to embrace this time of life with guts, glory, and a grin.
About the Author: Cas Dunlap is a former clinical psychologist, prosecutor, certified criminal trial lawyer, and judge. He is eminently qualified to present these stories because he is old and has firsthand knowledge of the subject matter. He spends his time, with his wife, Anne, alternately making an effort to behave himself in Florida, and trying to bring life to an early end on the ski slopes of Colorado.
