Reseña del editor:
Biografía del autor:
A smart and hilarious look at husbands, wives, and exes, from the critically acclaimed novelist, and pundit of domesticity.
Karen Karbo turns her signature wit and wisdom to the state of marriage, divorce, and remarriage in this wildly funny and often painfully accurate portrayal of a life rife with "exes": your ex, your husband or wife's ex, the ex of the ex, and of course, their children. Generation Ex is written from the point of view of five women who gather periodically to share stories, blow off steam, and have a few laughs about the impossible-and stubbornly persistent-phenomenon that is the ex-relationship. These are the stories of women who have survived dating, a first marriage, and subsequent divorce. They now have everything they've ever wanted, but wind up with much more than they bargained for. They're a bit older, wiser, more secure-and still manage to find themselves in the middle of rather messy situations.
A welcome relief from the how-tos and woebegone accounts of divorce, Generation Ex offers comic relief and wisdom to what has become a fairly common, though still maddening, state of affairs.
Karen Karbo is the author of three novels, the most recent being Motherhood Made a Man Out of Me. She is a contributing writer to Sports for Women and a journalist for several other magazines.

Descripción Condición: Near Fine. Providing solace, advice and commiseration for anyone trying to make sense of a family tree gone haywire with divorce and remarriage, this hilarious l atest effort by novelist and journalist Karbo (Motherhood Made a Man Out of Me) is like a fresh breeze setting everything right. From the first page, she grabs her readers by the shoulders and gives them a good, hearty shake, advising them, for example, that when one has to coexist with one's own ex , spouses' exes and the children of the various unions, "failing to know wh en to shut up is a genuine liability." Most importantly, she advises, one s hould fall silent when compelled to speak uncharitably about one's ex to th e child one had with that person. In fact, Karbo emphasizes, many exes stay locked in old patterns for the sake of their children, resulting in a limb o she terms "divarriage." Of course, children can also provide a handy excu se for maintaining contact with an ex. Her numerous evocations of scenes be tween ex-spouses achieve an unerring blend of screwball comedy, tragic dram a, feel-good fantasy and stalker flicks. Engagingly relating such incidents as the time her partner's ex-wife methodically cut up several pairs of Kar bo's underwear with cuticle scissors, along with excerpts from a book of po etry by her best friend's ex-husband called My Ex-Wife Looks Like Ginger Ro gers, Karbo makes ample use of her narrative instinct and canny eye for hum an foibles.
