[PW] Question about a book

[Stanley, Elaine]

Could it be John Gould's "Tales from Rhapsody Home, or Reporting Live
from Our Last Resort" ?  It was originally published as "Tales from
Rhapsody Home, or What They Don't Tell You About Senior Living".  One
description of this book (under the original title) is: The
ninety-two-year-old writer takes readers on a humorous, often irreverent
tour of his assisted-living facility and its inhabitants.

John Gould was a weekly columnist for the Christian Science Monitor for
many years, and the author of many books about Maine.

Hi all,

Thanks for the suggestions, but none were what he is looking for,
although he was going to pass on the AARP article, the Jean-Dominique
Bauby and the Art Buchwald book titles to a friend who was looking for
something similar.


It was not fiction (so Water for Elephants was out)...definitely an
autobiography...and the person had been a resident of a nursing home or
assisted living center, not a staff member.  If something else strikes
you, let me know, we're still looking.

Jocelyn
