Other blogs My guide to old age If you can avoid it, don't become 80. But the alternative, remember, is a good deal worse Brian Aldiss Wednesday November 1, 2006 The Guardian Many famous men and women have been celebrating their 60th birthdays lately. Well, Virginia Ironside and Bel Mooney for a start. I want to put in a good word for being 80. True, there are disadvantages to being so old; the great thing is to count the advantages. When you are 80, there are all sorts of things you don't have to do. You do not have to go out to dine if you can't be bothered; a phone call in a whiney voice, a burst of sympathy at the other end, and you can stay in snugly and read Tolstoy. Things that might seem like disadvantages when you are young - say 70 - can be transformed into pleasures. I tend to wake up at four or five in the morning. Instead of lying there whingeing about it, I shuffle downstairs and make myself a mug of tea. Sometimes I switch on the TV and discover a world that does not exist in daylight hours. The riches of Istanbul, a chap making friends with a crocodile, someone climbing the Himalayas in a wheelchair, the last orang-utangs in Sumatra, dining off durian fruit.

Aldiss Published by Del Rey in the US and UK Hardcover, 240 pages May Retail Price: $21.95 ISBN: 034549671X Review by Carlos Aranaga It is a mark of our increasingly brutalized and nihilistic times that the day after tomorrow world drawn by SF great Brian W. Aldiss in his new novel HARM does not shock us more. It is the story of a British Muslim writer with a poor sense of humor that runs afoul of hard men with even harder paranoias. A political detainee, Paul Fadhil Abbas Ali’s only escape is into the far reaches of his psyche, to a different life, to a world called Stygia Well might we hope that any resemblance between our present day world, the world envisioned by Aldiss, and Orwell’s world of war without end, is at best circumstantial, or at worst but a passing aberration.
