WE ARE CHILDFREE

Join us for the We are Childfree Book Club! We’re reading Selfish, Shallow and Self-Absorbed, edited by the incredible Meghan Daum:

“In this provocative and controversial collection of essays, curated by writer Meghan Daum, sixteen acclaimed writers explain why they have chosen to eschew parenthood. Contributors Lionel Shriver, Sigrid Nunez, Kate Christiensen, Elliott Holt, Geoff Dyer, and Tim Kreider, among others, offer a unique perspective on the overwhelming cultural pressure of parenthood.

Selfish, Shallow, and Self-Absorbed makes a thoughtful and passionate case for why parenthood is not the only path in life, taking our parent-centric, kid-fixated, baby-bump-patrolling culture to task in the process. What emerges is a more nuanced, diverse view of what it means to live a full, satisfying life.”

This is probably the first thing we ever read about the childfree choice, and we’re really looking forward to revisiting it with you!
