Title: A humorous look at aging
Product review: Alison Lurie writes tongue-in-cheek about a difficult subject, aging. Her humorous attitude for a hard time of life is refreshing. "The Last Resort" illustrates again her shrewd writing talent. This book offers a laugh to seniors who trek annually to Florida. It is also a parable for younger readers. The characters are meant to be cartoons. I think the ending is very sly. Alison Lurie gets even with some pompous old writers and slings a little manure, too, at a self-important poet (Robert Bly I suspect). I particularly love the cover, a photo of an abandoned bridge you drive past on your way to decadent Key West. Linda Donelson, author of "Out of Isak Dinesen: Karen Blixen's untold story"
