A groundbreaking reassessment of the last generation by one of the bravest and best writers of this one.”\u003cb\u003e—Christopher Caldwell, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Age of Entitlement\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Baby boomers (and I confess I am one): prepare to squirm and shake your increasingly arthritic little fists. For here comes essayist Helen Andrews, incendiary new critic of left-wing pieties, youthful scourge of 'disastrous' sixties idealism and its legacies, and all-round millennial conservative whippersnapper par excellence. Even when infuriating or wrong—and Andrews can be both—she is irresistibly intelligent, writes like a dream, and asks questions so uncomfortable and fundamental that the bravery, honesty, and moral seriousness of her approach cannot be gainsaid. \u003ci\u003eBoomers\u003c\/i\u003e—shall we go there?—is an essential book for our woebegotten time. Excuse me, folks, while I kiss the sky.”\u003cb\u003e—Terry Castle, Walter A. Haas Professor of the Humanities at Stanford University, author of The Professor\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“As a committed but self-hating Baby Boomer, I've read Helen Andrews' work with an uneasy mixture of trepidation and admiration—admiration because she combines a luminous intelligence with a wit that's as glistening and sharp as a straight razor, and trepidation because I realize she is about to turn those weapons on me and my kind. We deserve it, of course, but that doesn't make it any less scary.”\u003cb\u003e—Andrew Ferguson, staff writer at \u003ci\u003eThe Atlantic\u003c\/i\u003e, author of \u003ci\u003eCrazy U\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLand of Lincoln\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eHelen Andrews\u003c\/b\u003e is a senior editor at \u003ci\u003eThe American Conservative\u003c\/i\u003e.
