Griffith Review 68: Getting On
Step behind the clichés about silver tsunamis to explore the power and politics, lives and loves, losses and salvations that define who we are and how we live as we get older. Griffith Review’s Getting On explores the themes of aging, mortality and maturity through fiction, memoir, essay and reportage, revealing the complexities of lives lost and found. Join Tony Birch, Andrew Stafford and Jane R. Goodall in conversation with Griffith Review editor, Ashley Hay.
