Book by Sally Koslow P'99, P'04 Observes the Not-So-Empty Nest

Sally Koslow P?99, P?04

Journalist and author Sally Koslow P?99, P?04 has written a new nonfiction book about college graduates who march, diploma in hand, back into the family home. Slouching Toward Adulthood (Viking) offers both a funny portrait and a timely study of the reasons and cultural forces behind the hot topic phenomenon of adult kids who struggle to start their careers and become independent.

Book by Sally Koslow

The new book is informed by Koslow?s own experience when one of her college educated and unemployed sons settled back into the family?s Carroll Gardens apartment. Koslow advises, ?The best way for a lot of us to show our love would be to learn to un-mother and un-father.? Hailed by The Boston Globe as ?sharply funny,? Slouching Toward Adulthood aims to provide sensible advice to parents who can?t quite let their ?adultescents? grow up and leave the nest.

Sally Koslow is the author of four books and the former editor-in-chief of both McCall?s and Lifetime. She has written for the Huffington Post, Ladies? Home Journal, Good Housekeeping, and Readers? Digest. She lives in New York City with her husband and teaches creative writing at Sarah Lawrence College.
