About this book

Ada Calhoun examines midlife through interviews with American women from Generation X. Her focus is on middle-class expectations of opportunity and success, set against experiences of work, marriage, money and physical change. Accounts from women in varied circumstances reveal shared anxieties, disappointments and the feeling that their needs often go unrecognized.

About the author

Ada Calhoun

St. Marks Place in Manhattan's East Village was Ada Calhoun's childhood street, and St. Marks Is Dead, published in 2015, is its history building by building, from Dutch farmland through the beats and the punk years to the present. Her argument is that every generation announces the street has just been ruined, and every generation is wrong.
