In Italia non si fanno più figli, dove andrà a finire la nostra civiltà, ma soprattutto: chi pagherà le nostre pensioni?

With the birth of her first child, Laura Jean Baker found herself electrified by oxytocin, the "love drug" - the first effective antidote to her lifelong depression. Again and again over the next eight years, Baker finds herself craving the intense highs of childbearing - cravings that, she realizes, align her much more closely with her public defender husband's desperate, drug-addled clients than with their middle-class peers.

Von Verboten und Sanktionen eingeschränkt äußert sich unsere Aggressionsneigung meist auf Umwegen, versteckt, subtiler, in einer Vielzahl raffinierter Manöver.

The fifth of eight children, Chris Forhan was born into a family of silence. He and his siblings learned, without being told, that certain thoughts and feelings were not to be shared. On the evenings his father didn't come home, the rest of the family would eat dinner without him, his whereabouts unknown, his absence pronounced but not mentioned.

Forty years later Forhan "bravely considers the way he is and is not his father's son" (Larry Watson).
