Amazon.com description: Product Description:
P.J. OâRourke began writing funny things in 1960s Âundergroundâ newspapers, became editor-in-chief of National Lampoon, then spent 20 years reporting for Rolling Stone and The Atlantic Monthly as the worldâs only trouble spot humorist, going to wars, riots, rebellions, and other ÂHolidays in Hellâ in more than 40 countries.
Now OâRourke, born at the peak of the Baby Boom, turns his keen eye on himself and his 75 million accomplices in making America what it is today. With laughter as an analytical tool, he uses his own very average, if sometimes uproarious experiences as a key to his exceptional age cohort. He writes about the way the post-war generation somehow came of age by never quite growing up and created a better society by turning society upside down.
THE BABY BOOM: How it Got That Way And It Wasnât My Fault And Iâll Never Do It Again is at once a social history, a group memoir of collectively impaired memory, a hilarious attempt to understand his generationâs messy hilarity, and a celebration of the mess the Baby Boom has made.
