Acerca del autor

R. F. Laird graduated cum laude from Harvard at the age of 19, and went on to become a founding partner in the management consultant corporate public relations firm of Laird, Long, & Sylvester. The Boomer Bible, his first book, took him ten years to write.

De la contraportada

A sprawling, wickedly funny modern rewriting of the Bible that's meant to sum up a generation. -The Wall Street Journal

Only once in ten years, if we're very lucky, does a book like THE BOOMER BIBLE come along. It's the kind of book that makes you laugh, makes you angry, makes you question, makes you cringe, makes you think and shout yes! in agreement. It's the kind of book that thoroughly defines its times.

Without heresy or sacrilege, R.F. Laird has appropriated the most popular format in the history of Western letters to examine the beliefs and values we live by, and everything that went into forming them-from literature to psychoanalysis, from religion to relativity to TV. He captures the conflict of the Boomer era-growing up with the Ten Commandments, the Four Gospels, and the Golden Rule, and coming of age in the era of sex, drugs, and gimme gimme gimme. And he tells lots of great jokes-the kinds of jokes Lenny Bruce might have told, or Mark Twain, or Jonathan Smith, or Rabelais or Aristophanes.

THE BOOMER BIBLE is a dazzling invention, a darkly comic and devastating mirror of our age. Look into it, and see how far we've come-and gone astray.
