Andy, Dag and Claire have been handed a society beyond their means.
Twentysomethings, brought up with divorce, Watergate and Three Mile
Island, and scarred by the 80s fallout of yuppies, recession, crack
and Ronald Reagan, they represent the new generation - Generation
X. Fiercely suspicious of being lumped together as an advertiser's
target market, they have quit dreary careers and cut themselves
adrift in the California desert. Unsure of their futures, they
immerse themselves in a regime of heavy drinking and working in no
future McJobs in the service industry. Underemployed, overeducated
and intensely private and unpredicatable, they have nowhere to
direct their anger, no one to assuage their fears, and no culture
to replace their anomie. So they tell stories: disturbingly funny
tales that reveal their barricaded inner world. A world populated
with dead TV shows, 'Elvis moments' and semi-disposible Swedish
furniture.
