Nell Frizzell - A pánik évei

The panic years: the period between adolescence and puberty; a time of personal crisis, reckoning and change; riddle, change, possibility. During the years of panic, every single decision of a woman is influenced by a burning question with a biological background, namely, whether to have children or not. How to stay sane during this crazy time? How do we know who we are and what we want from life? How do we know if we are making the right decision? Nell Frizzell is raw, humorous and endearingly honest. As he reveals that the years of panic are over for him, on the one hand he empathetically puts his arm around the shoulders of his companions, on the other hand he initiates the discussion of certain things. Everyone is affected: women, men, mothers, children, partners, friends, colleagues. Time for some honesty. "Unlike childhood, adolescence, transition or midlife crisis, there is no common name for the storm born of time, hormones, social pressure and maternal longing that arrives in women's lives at the speed of an express train in their late twenties and early thirties. There is no it is a medical term or a German compound word, nor Latin, Arabic, or even French. Astrology does refer to the seven-year cycles of Saturn's return, but this nebulous term conveys little of the extent and nature of the rectification it requires, how much blood and tears it involves path and the change I experienced in myself and in my environment. When you experience it, you feel like you are trying to get out of a web of impossible decisions: you have to decide about a job, money, love, residence, contraception and commitment - and these decisions all follow from each other and are irreversible.
