Product Information
Sixteen literary luminaries on the controversial subject of being childless by choice, in this critically acclaimed, bestselling anthology One of the most provocative and talked-about books of the year, Selfish, Shallow, and Self-Absorbed is the stunning collection exploring one of society's most vexing taboos. One of the main topics of cultural conversation during the last decade was the supposed "fertility crisis," and whether modern women could figure out a way to have it all--a successful career and the required 2.3 children--before their biological clocks stopped ticking. Now, however, the conversation has turned to whether it's necessary to have it all (see Anne-Marie Slaughter) or, perhaps more controversial, whether children are really a requirement for a fulfilling life. In this exciting and controversial collection of essays, curated by writer Meghan Daum, thirteen acclaimed female writers explain why they have chosen to eschew motherhood. Contributors include Lionel Shriver, Sigrid Nunez, Kate Christensen, Elliott Holt, Geoff Dyer, and Tim Kreider, among others, who will give a unique perspective on the overwhelming cultural pressure of parenthood. This collection makes a smart and passionate case for why parenthood is not the only path to a happy, productive life, and takes our parent-centric, kid-fixated, baby-bump-patrolling culture to task in the process. In this book, that shadowy faction known as the childless-by-choice comes out into the light.

[A] searing collection... The child-burdened should come away from this engaging collection with a rich sense of what they have missed.-Katie Roiphe The Washington Post "A round of applause to Meghan Daum for putting this book together... .Entertaining and heartfelt."- The Boston Globe, "[A] searing collection . . . The child-burdened should come away from this engaging collection with a rich sense of what they have missed."--Katie Roiphe, The Washington Post "A round of applause to Meghan Daum for putting this book together. . . . Entertaining and heartfelt."-- The Boston Globe "The sixteen essays . . . not only dismantle the assumption of selfishness, they shed light on a stigma that's remained stubbornly pervasive. . . . Hugely significant."-- The Atlantic "A triumph of honesty and sincerity. I imagine returning again and again to its many smart and caring voices." --Hannah Pittard, author of Reunion and The Fates Will Find Their Way
