Titel: No Kids
Auteur: Corinne Maier
ISBN: 9780771054778
Conditie: Redelijk

The shocking treatise that was a bestselling international media sensation upon its 2007 publication in France now makes its eagerly anticipated English-language debut.

A mother of two herself, Maier makes her deadly serious, if at times laugh-out-loud-funny, argument with all the unbridled force of her famously wicked intellect. In forty to-the-point, impressively erudite chapters drawing on the realms of history, child psychology, politics, and the environment, Maier effortlessly skewers the idealized notion of parenthood as a natural and beautiful endeavour. Enough with this baby-mania that is plaguing modern society, says Maier, its nothing but brainwashing. Are you prepared to give up your free time, dinners with friends, spontaneous romantic getaways, and even the luxury of uninterrupted thought for the vicious little dwarves that will treat you like their servant, cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars, and end up resenting you?

Speaking to the still child-free, to fellow suffering parents, and to adamant procreationists alike, No Kids is a controversial, thought-provoking, and undeniably entertaining read.

Reasons to avoid having kids:

You will lose touch with your friends
Your sex life will be over
Children cost a fortune
Child-rearing is endless drudgery
Vacations will be nightmares
Youll lose your identity and become just mom or dad
Your children will become mindless drones of capitalism
The planets already overcrowded
Your children will inevitably disappoint you
