Helen Andrews calls the Boomers to account, [presenting] profiles of luminaries who promised much, ... including Camille Paglia, Aaron Sorkin, Steve Jobs, and Sonia Sotomayor. In covering the mighty works of these titans, Andrews [posits that] their lives and their generational idiosyncrasies have secretly deformed â in plain sight â our society and our successive generations.
What The Reviewers Say
It is a useful exercise to consider the attitudes and presuppositions that impelled members of a generational cohort to act as they did.
Crazy times in our politics are often the best times to seek some perspective and clarity and to look for a framework for understanding how we got here. And there’s a new book out this week that offers just that, and in a wonderfully engaging form.
A scathing critique of the baby boomer generation’s 'dismal legacy.'.
