In six essays and an afterword Aram Saroyan gives us a broadside for the new millennium. Finding in the vintage TV drama thirtysomething (1987-1991) a unique celebration of the American middle-class, a middle-class today threatened with extinction, Saroyan looks carefully at what is being lost, and goes on to a wide-ranging survey — from Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac to the Occupy Movement that recently took the country by storm — of the search for a more humane and equitable model for society.
