Alternate title:

Now we are forty : whatever happened to Generation X?

280 pages ; 23 cm.

What happened to Generation X? The lost generation. The kids who believed they'd never grow up. The generation Douglas Coupland immortalised in his novel of the same name. The wry, knowing navel-gazers obsessed with cool and being cool who today are sandwiched between the boomers of the 60s and the millennials. Gen X'ers came of age against a backdrop of Britpop and the Spice Girls, Tarantino and Pulp Fiction, Madchester and the Stone Roses, acid house and rave, super clubs, Ministry and Cream. So whatever happened to them? We turned 40. And as Tiffanie Darke points out in this witty exploration of the generation who defied generalisation, we're not handling it all that well. Tiffanie Darke was formerly the Food and Drink Editor for the Daily Telegraph and a former editor at Sunday Times Style magazine. She is the author of the novel, Marrow.
