In her celebrated 2001 collection, My Misspent Youth, Meghan Daum
offered a bold, witty, defining account of the artistic ambitions,
financial anxieties, and mixed emotions of her generation. The
Unspeakable is an equally bold and witty, but also a sadder and
wiser, report from early middle age. In My Misspent Youth Daum
reveals the absurdities of the marriage-industrial complex, of the
New Age dating market, and of the peculiar habits of the young and
digital with perfect precision. Elsewhere, she writes searchingly
about cultural nostalgia, Joni Mitchell, and the alternating
heartbreak and liberation of choosing not to have children.
Combining the piercing insight of Joan Didion with a warm humor
reminiscent of Nora Ephron, Daum dissects our culture's most
dangerous illusions, blind spots, and sentimentalities while
retaining her own joy and compassion. Named a Best Book of the
Year: The New York Times Book Review, Buzzfeed, Entertainment
Weekly, The Wall Street Journal, The Guardian, The Globe and Mail,
Slate, Brain Pickings, Bustle, People, Vol. 1 Brooklyn, The
Huffington Post, and PopSugar. Picador will be reissuing Daum's
cult classic collection, My Misspent Youth, to coincide with The
Unspeakable's paperback publication.
