Site of the Day: A Book of Ages
This is one of those addictive sites for anyone interested in the Arts, in history, in the progression of civilization.
Extracted from, and based on, A Book of Ages by Eric Hanson (whose stories and articles have appeared in McSweeney’s, the Atlantic and Smithsonian, among others), the site—like the book—is indeed a “collection of moments from famous lives — triumphs, failures, revealing anecdotes, odd incidents, crossed paths, missed chances, early and late masterpieces, mid-life crises and reinventions, great partnerships, changes of heart and changes of mind — organized by year of age.”
