What They're Saying

Critics Review

“If you want to understand why Americans are protesting in the streets right now, read this book. OK BOOMER, LET’S TALK blows the lid off the conversations about inequality and racism that lie at the heart of our national divide.”
—Jose Antonio Vargas, founder of Define American and author of Dear America: Notes of an Undocumented Citizen
“A sharp retort to critics of millennials and the clichés of laziness and narcissism that cling to them […] A worthy defense of a maligned generation, both passionate and policy-wonkish.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“A deeply analytical book.”
—Brian Lehrer, WNYC
“When you look at what’s has been done to Millennials finanancially by Boomers […] it’s amazing that you just want some social justice.”
—Dan Savage, host Savage Love
OK BOOMER, LET’S TALK deftly busts the stereotype of “snowflake” Millennials, painting instead a compelling picture of a generation burdened by debt and uncertainty about the future.”
—Cecile Richards, New York Times bestselling author of MAKE TROUBLE and co-founder of Supermajority
“As the CEO of a largely millennial organization and the parent of a millennial son, I learned a lot from this book. It’s an engaging but sobering read for any Boomer, and essential for anyone interested in the future of American politics.”
—Anne-Marie Slaughter, CEO, New America
