Cover is heavy wraps. Pages are clean and tight; this is a new book. "...records the stories of a culture that seems to give people the strength to face enormous daily problems--poverty, neglect, loneliness, poor health, inadequate housing and physical danger. The tale is a poignant one, funny and often wise, with implications for all of us about the importance of ritual, the agonies of aging, and the indomitable human spirit". In 1977 Dr. Myerhoff won an Academy Award [Oscar] for best short documentary, while doing work that led to this book. ; Remainder; 5 1/4 x 8 1/4; 318 pages; Cover has very slight rubbing; black remainder mark.
