Description

Generation X Tales for an Accelerated Culture is a collection of stories that reveal the inner world of twentysomethings who have grown up in a society marked by change and uncertainty.

Brought up with divorce, Watergate, and Three Mile Island, these young adults represent a generation scarred by the 80s fallout of yuppies, recession, crack, and Ronald Reagan. Now, they've quit their careers and cut themselves adrift, immersing themselves in heavy drinking and working in no future McJobs in the service industry.

Their stories are disturbingly funny tales that reveal a world populated with dead TV shows, 'Elvis moments', and semi-disposable Swedish furniture. A world where they have nowhere to direct their anger, no one to assuage their fears, and no culture to replace their anomie.
