The book begins with a trip to the dentist by author Daniel Klein. “He said I had to get these implants over the course of a year [or] I would look older with denture plates …and my teeth would pop out once in a while,” Klein recalled. “And I thought, ‘what do I care if have a goofy old man smile? I am an old man!’” So begins an essay about thinking about old age in a way not common in our time and place.
