Out of time by Lynne Segal: book review Lynne Segal - Out of time: The pleasures and perils of ageing. Review by Carla Besora Barti In this personal review, Carla reflects on how Segal’s book inspired and informed her research. She writes: “What first drew me to read Lynne Segal’s book Out of Time (2014) was its subtitle, ‘The Pleasures and Perils of Ageing.’ I have embarked on a research project on ageing, women, and sexuality, and in reviewing the existing literature on the subject, I realized that much more attention is paid to the ‘perils’ than the ‘pleasures’ of ageing. Lynne Segal deals with both in her book, by combining analyses of narratives about ageing in literary fiction and the media with her own experience as a woman growing older. She examines the words and lives of poets, writers, and artists—mostly from the Anglophone world—to find out what it means to grow older in an ageist society.” You can read the full review here: https://www.digest.ugent.be/article/id/90465/ And if it sparks your interest, you can get a copy of the book here: https://www.versobooks.com/products/2343-out-of-time
