“Lost Lambs” Reviewed

Send us Fan MailThis week Jim and JB shepherd readers through “Lost Lambs,” a buzzy new book by 29-year-old New York writer Madeline Cash. Will they be sheepish to suggest how much they like it? Or is celebrating Lost Lambs just following the flock? (Okay, I’ll stop now.) Relatedly, are boomer critics too dismissive of young writers? Also: JB celebrates the UK giving fresh rights for lobsters (at least when they die), and Jim complains about famous literary complainer Lionel Shriver. Plus Alexander Payne, Wes Anderson, and HBO’s “DTF St. Louis.” And Finally, Boomer Has It! has a new corporate sponsor. (It's monetization time...or at least, puppy time!)Boomer Has It! The transatlantic podcast you never knew you needed.About the Hosts Boomer Has It! brings together two seasoned writers from two different worlds to find common ground (or a good-natured argument) in the middle of the Atlantic through an unfiltered boomer lens.Join the Conversation We don’t just want to talk at you; we want to hear from you.
