||Writing by the very old?

Two long pieces of prose writing that have interested me lately are Robert Ashley'sCrashand Samuel Beckett'sWorstward Ho. Notably, both were finished when the authors were unquestionably -old-; Beckett was 76, Ashley 83. I am interested in the shared feeling between these works, and would like to read other works by people who were 75+ when the work was finished. What can you recommend that meets this criterion?posted by solariontoWriting & Languageat 10:41 PM -19 answers
