Have a Nice Fall

Your brain starts shrinking at 25. Your handshake starts going soft at 30. At 40, your memory starts to slip. In a new book, author David Shields catalogues the myriad ways that our bodies gradually betray us.

I might be decrepit, but I can still turn on the gas. Or roll in front of a bus. Or off a pier.
