Oldish:Book Club The Oldish Man and the Sea

Send us a text

In this episode of Oldish: Conversations on Aging in the 21st Century, co-hosts Dr. Janet Price and Gregg Kaloust have another energetic book club meeting with our dear friend Leslie Ross-Degnan. We read and discuss Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea, which we all read in high school. How does it look from way out in the Gulf Stream of Time? Way more interesting than it did back then.

We all also watched the Academy Award winning short Animated Film depiction of the Old Man and the Sea. It's gorgeous. You can watch it online at https://archive.org/details/the-old-man-and-the-sea-1999
