The Invention of the Midlife Progress Novel. “Discovering the midlife progress novel, Gullette finds in recent fiction a pervasive tension between decline and a new ideology of aging. Appropriately, she invites the reader to join the writers in their therapeutic discourse.” —Rosemary Franklin, American Literature.
“[This] book certainly makes you think. What is it that can happen in middle age to make it, as it is for many people, the clearest and sweetest time of life?” —Frank Conroy, The New York Times
