In Losing It, William Ian Miller brings his inimitable wit and learning to the subject of growing old: too old to matter, of either rightly losing your confidence or wrongly maintaining it, culpably refusing to face the fact that you are losing it. The "it" in Miller's "losing it" refers mainly to mental faculties - memory, processing speed, sensory acuity, the capacity to focus. But it includes other evidence as wel l- sags and flaccidities, aches and pains, failing joints and organs. What are we to make of these tell-tale signs?

With brutal honesty and unashamed candidness, Charles takes us, the listeners, into the chambers of his inner, transparent self. We are with him as he encounters a journey of discovery that takes place during a 24-hour period to save his sight. As each hour slowly passes he starts to recall his life and discovers something completely unexpected, something that would change his life forever. His eloquent words are personal yet personable, private yet inviting, intimate yet engaging. And his life, as you will discover, is nothing short of inspiring.
