How to Dress for Old Age, David Carlin & Peta Murray (The Age/SMH 31/1/26)
Playwrights David Carlin and Peta Murray are both “in the gap between being extant and not being extant” – a certain time of life when parents have gone or are going, leaving no one ahead of them. This sort-of memoir is a book of great tenderness, self-scrutiny and consideration of how you care for ageing and dying parents and how you negotiate your own life when you too are beginning to age. As Carlin puts it, “how frustrating it is to be old and still at the beginning, or how quietly thrilling”. It’s a wise book, dealing with issues everyone will face in an original way.
