| Publisher Description: Can't Get It in France -- More Stories from the Rossmoor News is Douglas Hergert's second collection of essays, originally written for the Rossmoor retirement community of Walnut Creek, California. In these pages you'll read about people, books, food, and memories, including: a culinary experience that people come from France to enjoy; a contemporary look at Shakespeare; the American life of an African son; an appreciation of the humorist Calvin Trillin; the buzz about San Francisco neighborhoods; and two favorite holiday essays, reprinted here from an earlier volume. You'll also find profiles of Rossmoor residents, with anecdotal reviews of their work, their opinions and interests, and their lives. With a population of ten thousand senior citizens, Rossmoor abounds in compelling stories. |
