The concept of ‘coming-of-age’ in this time of history and political state, I think it to be irrelevant. Society used to tell me, and they still say, that experience comes with age. Perhaps, during post-WWII, it applied. Children of Great Depression raising Baby Boomers, the experience of those that survived are tales to be told [...]
