Dusk is Coming to an End
Literature暮色将尽
(british) Diana Acier
"Twilight" is Diana Asier's masterpiece. It has won many awards such as the Costa Biography Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award. It is an essay about her old life written when she was approaching 90 years old. It is frank, open-minded and interesting. She talked about the various changes in old age, mixed with memories of her past life. She generously recalled several of her love histories, confessed her indifference to missing her motherhood, and honestly faced the pain of old age. However, she still talked passionately about the new experiences gained in gardening, painting, reading, writing, etc. Overall, Asir shows us a very unique female sample, allowing us to see how an ordinary intellectual woman maintains her independent self in dealing with the world, and finally faces aging and the end of life calmly.
