You won't be able to stop thinking and talking about it.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this gripping work, Meghan Daum examines our country's most intractable problems with clear-eyed honesty instead of exaggerated outrage. With passion, humor, and personal reflection, she tries to make sense of the current landscape--from Donald Trump's presidency to the #MeToo movement and beyond. In the process, she wades into the waters of identity politics and intersectionality, thinks deeply about campus politics and notions of personal resilience, and tests a theory about the divide between Gen Xers and millennials. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis signature work may well be the first book to capture the essence of this era in all its nuances and contradictions. No matter where you stand on its issues, this book will strike a chord.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMeghan Daum is the author of six books including \u003ci\u003eThe Problem with Everything\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Unspeakable: And Other Subjects of Discussion\u003c\/i\u003e, which won the 2015 PEN Center USA Literary Award for creative nonfiction.
