Erudition on the Tenth Decade: Roger Angell
Is there anyone who writes with more rhythm and verve than Roger Angell? Hard to believe, but he’s now well on his way to 94 candles. “This Old Man,” his Tour de Force essay on the ultimate contest, the sport of aging, appears in this week’s issue of The New Yorker.
Surprisingly, the recommendation for this good read comes via Tour de France’s own Lance Amstrong. (Sorry, France, you broke him; he’s still yours.) Feeling a bit creaky, Lance? You aren’t even half way there yet!
