The Afternoon of Life: Dementia, Aging, and the Courage to Stay

#Dementia #Aging #LivingLifefully #FindingCalmness #Discrimination

Lori La Bey talks with Eva Tombak, the author, and Viktor Tombak, Eva’s husband and the designer and Illustrator of the book AFTERNOON: The Aging Guide for Beginners, which explores aging, dementia, caregiving, identity, and the fragile but enduring humanity that remains when memory begins to fade. Eva is a Lithuanian author, former journalist and magazine publisher, and yoga teacher based in Vilnius. Afternoon is her first book. Viktor Tombak is an architect and has guided the English-language edition from translation to publication and promotion.

Learn:

1. What does the title of the book mean?
2. Dementia as a test of humanity.
3. What dementia teaches us about the person whose memory begins to fail.
4. Looking at dementia not only medically, but also through literature and memory.
5. Finding hope when you think about dementia
