February 15, 2008 - At Christmas my friend gave me Another Country by Mary Pipher. Her main thesis in the book is that there needs to be more intergenerational connection, so that we can understand and reap the gifts that our elderly have to give us. It's full of anecdotes and interviews with various elderly people. I liked the tone of the book....sort of Bill Moyersish....serious, reverential almost, allusive, with references and quotes from writers from different disciplines...poems, etc. Mary Pipher is a psychologist and has done her research, but the book is written in a style that is very readable, conversational and not academic. It is a good book to read if your parents are getting older, whether your relationship with them was good or not.
