{"product_id":"9781925203059","title":"We're All Going to Die (Especially Me)","description":"\u003ci\u003eMy late twenties have felt like a series of slow-motion epiphanies, each one sneaking up before slapping me in my newly acquired jowls. Everything I said I'd do 'by the time I'm thirty' as a glassy-eyed graduate is now in the 'by the time I'm forty' box.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Much has been made of delayed adulthood of Gen Y'ers – that they flit from job to job and take their sweet time earning the traditional adult badges: marriage, children, a mortgage. But what makes this generation tick? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eWe're All Going to Die (Especially Me)\u003c\/i\u003e, award-winning journalist Joel Meares reflects on the muddle of Gen Y existence with razor-sharp insight and riotous good humour. From 'My hands are pretty, and little' and 'I can't handle my drugs' to 'I am not a New Yorker' and 'I make an excellent bridesmaid', Meares' essays are self-deprecating, confessional and rollicking good fun. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ‘\u003ci\u003eWe're All Going to Die\u003c\/i\u003e is like a series of late-night conversations with someone so smart, perceptive and wry, you're already secretly planning to make them be your new best friend.’ – Benjamin Law \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ‘Joel Meares is going to die at some point. It appears he’s not planning to take any secrets with him. Hilarious!’ – Annabel Crabb \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Joel Meares is the arts editor of \u003ci\u003eThe Sydney Morning Herald\u003c\/i\u003e and former editor of \u003ci\u003eTime Out Sydney\u003c\/i\u003e. He grew up Catholic near Maroubra Beach but shows little sign of either.","brand":"Schwartz Publishing Pty.
