Generation X: tales for an accelerated culture

Andy, Dag and Claire have been handed a society beyond their means. Twenty-somethings, brought up with divorce, Watergate and Three Mile Island, and scarred by the 80's fallout of yuppies, recession, crack and Ronald Reagan, they represent the new generation - Generation X. 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, over-educated and intensely private and unpredictable, 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.
