What are some novels that deal with the topic of biological senescence/the fear of getting older? The more anxiety and telluric the better!
Bluebeard, the most underrated Vonnegut novel in my opinion. Breakfast of Champions, somewhat.
Vonnegut is simplistic but, in my opinion, good at storytelling and making characters.
