?A tongue-in-cheek guide for those of us who, thanks to longer life expectancy and the spread of no-brow culture, find ourselves stranded between youth and middle-age.? Sunday Telegraph
Malcolm Burgess ? journalist, scriptwriter and full-time fortysomething ? presents a riotous A?Z of the realities of life in your forties today. Riotous, that is, like having your iPod on in the house.
Today?s fortysomethings have never had it so good ? or so confusing. While our parents could look forward to a sensible middle age, we?re more likely to be playing our Morrissey records and thanking God Jonathan Ross is on Radio 2. There are so many different ways of being in our forties that many of us aren?t quite sure where we?re supposed to go next ? or just how grumpy we?re meant to be.
Forty-fied is the hilariously wry and observant essential guide to this complex decade in our lives. It encompasses everything from music, fashion, film and books to family, work, sex and travel. Metro newspaper columnist and bestselling author of I Hate the Office, Malcolm Burgess leaves no embarrassing fortysomething scenario unturned ? or do we mean unstoned? For anyone forty and fabulous, or who?s forty and owns ten fleeces, this is the laugh-out-loud funny book of your dreams ... and no doubt your screams, too.
