MARY CATHERINE BATESON at Town Hall Seattle |
Co-presented with the TOWN HALL CENTER FOR CIVIC LIFE. Twenty years after eminent scholar and author Mary Catherine Bateson's Composing a Life appeared—a book which has had readership and relevance ever since—she is here with Composing a Further Life: The Age of Active Wisdom (Knopf). More than taking up where its predecessor left off, Composing a Further Life is a serious, informed, lively exploration of what can be made of later stages of adult life, what Dr. Bateson calls 'Adulthood II.' She draws from an array of conversations/portrayals of others who have lived more deeply and fully as they've aged, as well as developing research. Mary Catherine Bateson's numerous other books include With a Daughter's Eye: A Memoir of Margaret Mead and Gregory Bateson, Peripheral Visions, and Willing to Learn. She is presently a Visiting Scholar at the Center on Aging & Work/Workplace Flexibility at Boston College, and until recently was president of the Institute of Intercultural Studies. $5 tickets are available at the door starting at 6:30 p.m., or in advance via www.brownpapertickets.com (1-800-838-3006). Preferred seating for Town Hall members. evening, please call Elliott Bay at (206) 624-6600, Town Hall at (206) 652-4255, or see www.townhallseattle.org.
