Is forty really the new thirty? If so, then how come all those thirty-year-olds don’t want to party with you? Is it because thirty is the new twenty? This would also clear up why twenty-year-olds act like tweens nowadays. You Don’t Look Young for Your Age is a sharp-witted, illustrated collection of stories - part rant, part memoir - that pulls the curtain back on popular thinking, and uses humour and uncanny insight to expose our self-serving notions. Former investment analyst and first-time novelist, Bruce Freedman, boldly pokes fun at first world thinking; whether it’s questionable parenting, fast-food spirituality or rockstar physicists, Bruce surmises that conventional wisdom is as wrong as you may think it’s right. You’ll grimace as you see yourself in a story and laugh as you read another that you’re certain is about someone you know - or someone you saw throwing a tantrum in Whole Foods. It’s irreverent and relatable.
