Have enough books focused on the lives of baby-boomers? Isn't there a paucity of books set within the sixties and seventies? Don't we need a baby-boomer lit?
Dianne Harman proposes just such an idea in her wonderful blog: NEXT BIG GENRE #ASMSG
I agree with her, and its personal, my new novel Colorado Mandala fits right into this new category of boomer-lit.
For research, I went from bookstore to bookstore looking for novels that told any story from this tumultuous period of American life, this period of a "generation gap". And found nothing. Nothing, or nearly nothing. Drop City and a few others.
Colorado Mandala could be a beach head book for boomer-lit! What do you think?
