Roctogenarians

Laura Ingalls Wilder began publishing her Little House books when she was 65 years old. Frank Lloyd Wright’s final design for New York City’s Guggenheim Museum was approved when he was 89. Roctogenarians: Late in Life Debuts, Comebacks, and Triumphs is filled with inspiring true stories of artists, athletes, actors, activists, and more who made their mark on the world when they could have been taking their final years easy. As with Rocco’s previous book, Mobituaries – about the art of writing obituaries – this one is well-researched, and presented with the same mix of journalism and entertainment he presents in his award winning pieces on CBS Sunday Morning. Roctogenarians proves that the cultural view of aging is all wrong – it is not nearing the end of Iife; no, it can and should be a time for opening the doors to new, creative, and exciting experiences.
