In these nine essays, Susan Lieberman is exploring The Country of Old, in which she finds herself a new immigrant. She examines the difficulties of leaving "that other place" and making sense of this new country.

Lieberman's touch is light but her analysis of the challenges/opportunities of aging is provocative. "If we are not old, then we are dead," she notes. And if we are, indeed, not dead then how can we live well in this moment in our life span?

For Lieberman, it involves a reconstruction of expectations and a realistic assessment of decline. But if the subject is serious, spending time with these essays is akin to sitting down with an old friend over coffee.
