The Older You Get, the Shorter Your Stories Should Be

Bob Bowie's reflections on his well-lived and adventurous life are charming, funny, poignant and wise. This book is a real pleasure to read. - Drew Faust President Emerita, Harvard University "Bob Bowie has written a riveting and rollicking collection of tales comprising his life as a Renaissance Man who overcame serious childhood learning disabilities to become a Harvard Poet Laureate, adventurer, lawyer and playwright. Writing with brutal candor and self-deprecating wit, Bowie unspools stories that both entertain and pack plenty of wisdom. I thoroughly enjoyed this book." - Ben Bradlee, Jr. Pulitzer Prize-winning Editor of The Boston Globe Spotlight Team "Pearl after pearl - brief easily accessible stories that reflect the unclouded eye of the author for all things honest, compassionate and revelatory. I laughed, cried, reflected, regretted and rejoiced reading this seemingly random collection before recognizing the common thread - clear eyed humanity. Mr. Bowie's curation of his self deprecating, poignant and often hilarious moments, will become a dear friend whose warmth and comfort are there to visit again and again!" - Ty Cobb Prominent Washington, D.C. lawyer and former White House Special Counsel
