Author Thomas Farber's two most recent books — Acting My Age and Penultimates: The Now & the Not-Yet — are wry and sometimes mordant nonfiction writings on approaching age eighty. We are delighted to welcome Farber to this month's Vital Aging Forum to discuss what he's learned about the aging self and the world we live in.
