Pamela Druckerman, "There Are No Grownups" at Politics and Prose at The Wharf on 5/31/18.
As she embarked on her forties, Druckerman, author of Bringing Up Bébé, threw herself a party, then almost stayed away. She didn’t know what to expect—or what others would expect of her, now that she was no longer young but not really middle-aged. Expanding on her popular New York Times column, “What You Learn in Your Forties,” Druckerman set out to map this terra incognita, doing for the transitional decade what Lena Dunham did for the twenties and Nora Ephron for the sixties. With her signature mix of journalism, memoir, and French savoir faire, she explores issues ranging from how to stay married, how to manage both kids and aging parents, how to keep growing at the midpoint of a career, and how to shop like an adult. She also passes on the wisdom of French women, who see the forties as the gateway to a new freedom.
