Publisher's Note
In 1968 Meredith Maran was expelled from her prestigious New York high school for leading anti-war protests. Nearly thirty years later, with an ex-husband, two teenage sons, a female lover, and a mortgaged dream house on the edge of the Oakland ghetto, shes still trying to change the world ... but this time its personal.In What Its Like To Live Now, Meredith Maran explores the gap between the dreams of the 60s and the realities of the 90s, in a book filled with uncommon insight--and her own wickedly subversive sense of humor. Reading What Its Like To Live Now is like having dinner with your funniest, most unshockable woman friend. You won't want it to end.

Industry reviews
"The title of Meredith Maran's new autobiography, 'What It's Like To Live Now', nails what a memoir does and explains why we need them so badly. We need help understanding our time on this planet. What is it like to live now? ...The combination of riveting events and her personal story begins the process of historical analysis, helping the reader to reflect on the larger meaning of our place and time. For gay and lesbian readers, particularly ones living in the Bay Area, this book is chock full of 'I was there, too!' experiences....Excessive cheerfulness aside, it would be difficult to read this book without admiring Maran's courage to write so much of her personal and recent life. She does not hide behind fictional characters. This is her life, and that of her sons and lover, for all to view and critique. This is, for Maran, what it's like to live now."
Lambda Book Report - Lucy Jane Bledsoe 

"'What It's Like to Live Now' wields its strongest appeal as the testament of an autobiographer who is neither famous nor literary. On its eccentric terms Ms. Maran's is an ordinary life, and Ms. Maran herself a familiar type of the sort that makes most people's alarms go off. It's fascinating, and heartening, to read about her."
New York Times Book Review - Robert Christgau 

"I love this book. Through warmly candid self-exploration--and a keen eye on the telling minutiae of daily life--Meredith Maran captures all the heartbreak and glory of coping in difficult times."
Armistead Maupin 

"Welcome a strong new voice. Meredith Maran is alternately charming and confrontational, self-absorbed and politically engaged, fresh and shrewd. She's always shockingly honest."
Mother Jones - Jeffrey Klein
