Time Fries!: Aging Gracelessly in Rehoboth Beach

by Fay Jacobs

The hilarious and irreverent Fay Jacobs is back….again!The author of the trilogy of humorous memoirs As I Lay Frying, Fried & True and For Frying Out Loud returns with more wise and witty recollections about contemporary life in general and more specifically life in Rehoboth Beach, a small resort town on the Delaware Coast. It’s provocative, political, occasionally heartwarming, and reliably hilarious.

As the title implies, this book is about taking on the challenges of senior discounts and laughing in the face additional birthdays. It’s all about not acting your age and having a grand time doing it.

Recommended for everyone, male or female, gay or straight. Rehoboth Beach historian and author Rich Barnett says of Jacobs books, “What I love is how these four books taken together present a social history of LGBT life in one town over 20 years of great change in American society.”
