It is possible that you, like me, find the boomer cohort tiresome. You might have that reaction even if your birthdate says technically you are a boomer.
American Greatness has a review of a new book profiling six boomer public figures: Steve Jobs, Aaron Sorkin, Jeffrey Sachs, Camille Paglia, Al Sharpton, and Sonia Sotomayor. The book is Helen Andrews' Boomers: The Men and Women Who Promised Freedom and Delivered Disaster.
The reviewer lumps Andrews' Boomers together with Tom Wolfe’s The Electric Kool-Ade Acid Test and Christopher Lasch’s The Culture of Narcissism as the three books essential to understanding the trajectory and significance of the boomer cohort.
I haven’t read the book, but the review is worth your time. It trashes the stereotypical boomer shortcomings in a heartfelt manner with which you’re likely to find yourself nodding agreement. Hat tip to RealClearPolitics for the link.
