At 79, Elfriede Vavrik closes her small bookstore, but at home, she feels restless. When she consults a doctor about her sleep disturbances, he refuses to prescribe her any medication. "You'd be better off finding a man," he advises her. At her age? Vavrik had given up on men when she divorced at forty. With the help of an advertisement, the elderly lady tentatively re-enters the world of romance, which soon becomes more turbulent and intense than it has ever been for her. "Nudist Beach" is an equally surprising and provocative true story about desire, fantasies, and relationship anxieties in the late autumn of life. The author candidly explores the changes in the body and libido, as well as previously uncharted aspects of the male psyche.
