Descriere magazin:
ALL SKATE: True Stories from Middle Life is a series of musings from one mid-life woman, wife, and mother on what it means to grow old in a country obsessed with TikTok, Instagram influencers, and that creepy Elon Musk and his Mars-bound robots. What will you do / with your one wild and precious life? the poet Mary Oliver asked, and the answer here is everything. From grade-school crushes to pandemic roller-skating disasters, from the dread of bathing suit season to the embrace of flawed and beautifully fragile bodies, from the uncomfortable joy of Swedish death-cleaning to the easy joy of holding on to the tiniest moments that matter, All Skate is one woman\'s testimony to the eternal powers of humor, love, and kindness.

Deep love of brilliantly drawn parents, children, students, friends, and husband permeate this collection, as does Jakiela\'s sharp eye on gender, and on how class operates in the world of literary culture. Once again, Jakiela resists pretension while holding onto roots, onto home, onto the ties that bind and give our lives meaning.-Jane McCafferty, author of First You Try Everything and The Sea Lion Who Saved the Boy Who Jumped From the Golden Gate In All Skate: True Stories from Middle Life, Lori Jakiela delivers another collection of essays brimming with what readers have come to love about her work: a little heartbreak, a lot of humor, and the hard working hands of a writer who always knows exactly where to draw a reader\'s attention. Jakiela does the brilliant work of connecting everything from Buddhism to roller skating to Jimmy Carter, mastectomies, b
