Brownstoned: Author’s portrayal of slutty, pothead parents has Park Slope feeling dirty
Parents in Park Slope and other Brownstone Brooklyn neighborhoods are popping a cork over author Amy Sohn’s latest poke at their neighborhoods’ slutty, pill-popping moms and dads.
In the provocative article, “The 40-Year-Old Reversion,” published on the culture website The Awl, Sohn paints a frightening picture of hitting the big 4-0 while with family in the borough of Kings.
Her brownstoner friends call themselves “Hookers, Sluts and Drug Addicts.” They talk about having sex with each others’ graphic-designer husbands, and pop way too many pills.
