Thinking Again

The irrepressible Jan Morris-author of such classics as Venice and Trieste-is at it again: offering a vibrant set of reminiscences that remind us &quote;what a good, wise and witty companion Jan Morris has been for so many readers for so long&quote; (Alexander McCall Smith, New York Times Book Review).&quote;Like Michel de Montaigne&quote; (Danny Heitman, Wall Street Journal), Morris waxes on the ironies of modern life in all their resonant glories and inevitable stupidities-from her daily exercise (a &quote;statutory thousand paces of brisk walk&quote;) 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.
