Abstract

To Grips, presented here in part, is a novel based somewhat on the character of Dorothy Parker but projected beyond Parker's lifespan. Josie Palmer, the central character, is turning eighty years old and is forcing herself through a transformation involved with what are the themes of the novel: aging, privacy, and individualism.
