Late-life creativity has not always been viewed favourably. Prevalent "peak-and-decline" models suggest that artists, as they grow old, cease to produce highquality work. Aiming to counter such ageist discourses, the present study proposes a new ethics of reading literary texts by elderly authors. For this purpose, it develops a methodology that consolidates textual analysis with cultural gerontology. 517 $aProduction of Lateness 606 $aLiterature: history and criticism$2bicssc 606 $aMusic$2bicssc 606 $aThe Arts: treatments and subjects$2bicssc 610 $aAutobiography 610 $aBeethoven 610 $aCreativity 610 $aCultural Gerontology 610 $aDeath 610 $aDementia 610 $aGender 610 $aJoan Didion 610 $aJohn Barth 610 $aKaren Blixen 610 $aLate Style 610 $aLiterature 610 $aMetafiction 610 $aNarrative 610 $aOld Age 610 $aTheodor Adorno 615 7$aLiterature: history and criticism 615 7$aMusic 615 7$aThe Arts: treatments and subjects 700 $aRivera Godoy-Benesch$b Rahel$4auth$01278273 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910476928803321 996 $aThe Production of Lateness$93013002 997 $aUNINA
