THE SIBLING SOCIETY
Bly, Robert W.
1996 15000373 Poet and storyteller Robert Bly takes the baby boomers to task in this highly charged exposure of midlifers' values. Having become jaded by the abuses of authority, the boomers of North America have torn down the traditional hierarchy within their families and within their communities. What's left is a "cultural flatness," says Bly, where adults cling to self-absorbed adolescent values, television talk shows have more clout than elders, children are spiritually abandoned to fend for themselves, and in the place of community we have built shopping malls. As always, Bly relies on mythology, legends, and poetry to illustrate the morals of his stories. Ultimately this is a hopeful piece of work, nudging midlifers to take on the responsibilities (and therefore the rewards) of adulthood. --This text refers to the Paperback edition. Product Description: The author of Iron John expands his mythic perspective to examine American culture at large, and finds us to be a nation of squabbling children. Through the psychological lessons embedded in ancient folktales in which children are thrown away and giants lurk, Bly challenges us to move beyond our own adolescent envy and fantasy and to take responsiblity for our children. Published at twenty five dollars. Perseus Books 0-201-40646-2 / 9780201406467
