THE POSITION
Crackling with intelligence and humor, The Position is the masterful story of one extraordinary family at the hilarious height of the sexual revolution -- and through the thirty-year hangover that followed.
The Position by Meg Wolitzer
'The book was called PLEASURING: One Couple's Journey to Fulfillment. The title, when the children had first heard it and begun to understand it, was so incontestably mortifying that it threatened to stunt them forever, leaving them locked in time and steadfast refusal to enter the adult world.'
The children are Holly and Michael, Dashiell and Claudia. And everything changes for them the day they read the book that their liberal parents Paul and Roz Mellow have written, a book that features tasteful pastel illustrations of their parents' lovemaking and that has become a runaway bestseller. Thirty years later, when the children who grew up in the shadow of these erotically charged parents are adults, and it looks as though the book may be reissued, we catch up with the twists and turns of their complicated 21st-century lives and those of the iconic couple whose marriage has not run as smoothly as it seemed set to do ...
Meg Wolitzer is married with two sons and lives in New York. Her previous novels include Sleepwalking, This is Your Life, Surrender Dorothy (currently being filmed by CBS with Diane Keaton in the leading role) and, most recently, The Wife.
