With Aging Out: An Exploration of Caregiving, Community, and How Americans Grow Old (July 14), author Lucy Schiller presents a stunning and deeply personal investigation into the current state of eldercare and what it means to grow old in America. Unlike many other cultures, our collective stance toward older people in the United States has long been one of casual avoidance and neglect. This attitude became brutally clear during the height of the COVID pandemic, when too many people saw elderly deaths not as tragedies but as foregone conclusions.
