Annotation | A light-hearted but critical look at the "Baby Boomers" as the post-war generation children who, in the author's opinion, have not grown up as adults with a maturity comparable to their parents or grandparents but as "greedy children", lamenting the loss of something they never actually had and the consequences of this for today's society. The article is taken from Bywater's book "Big babies: or, why can't we just grow up?" published by Granta Books (November 2006). (KJ/RH). |
