6 September 1998 - blurb: grownup

Long recognized as the finest adulthood guide available, this moving, authoritative, blockbuster tour de force details all the details and grapples with all the hooks. Drawing on sources from Sappho to Sallie Mae, So You Want to Be a Grownup moves easily between the innocent angst of youth and the experienced angst of maturity. A “must read” for anyone interested in escaping adolescence, from age 16 to 60.
