For author Susan Evans, "writing personal essays is a cathartic experience," one that does its job by "lightening my load." As you read this collection of essays-funny, tragic, cringey, nostalgic, wise, and occasionally whiny-you will feel your load lightening as well.You Have to Laugh: Riffs on Aging is for anyone in the latter half of life who agrees that while growing old can be terrifying, it can also be pretty funny-that is, if you learn to look for the light in the dark. "You don't have to laugh, of course, but once you start, it becomes a habit."

Autorenporträt
Susan Evans has crossed the Rubicon and is now an official octogenarian. She lives most of the year in South Florida, where it's easy to find things to laugh about-iguanas that fall out of trees when the temperature drops, doctors' offices that lock their doors during lunch so that elderly patients don't linger to socialize, beaches covered with underdressed retirees, and a certain former politician who will remain nameless. Loss is ever present, but so is laughter.
