In 1968 Meredith Maran was expelled from her  prestigious New York high school for leading anti-war  protests. Nearly thirty years later, with an  ex-husband, two teenage sons, a female lover, and a  mortgaged dream house on the edge of the Oakland  ghetto, she's still trying to change the world ... but  this time it's personal.

In  What It's Like To Live Now, Meredith  Maran explores the gap between the dreams of the '60s  and the realities of the '90s, in a book filled  with uncommon insight--and her own wickedly  subversive sense of humor. Reading What It's Like  To Live Now is like having dinner with  your funniest, most unshockable woman friend. You  won't want it to  end.
