Former New York Times Magazine editor Gerald Marzorati took up tennis in his mid-50s. In Late to the Ball: Age. Learn. Fight. Love. Play Tennis. Win., he details his journey to compete on the national circuit at age 60. Finding himself in a difficult spot in life — past middle-aged, but still not “old”— he explains why he set this goal and how he set off to make it a reality.
Event: Gerald Marzorati will be signing, reading from his book and in conversation with Roger Angell at The Corner Bookstore (1313 Madison Avenue and 93rd) on Tuesday, May 17th at 6 p.m.
