To breed or not to breed? That is the question twenty-eight accomplished writers ponder in this collection of provocative, honest, soul-searching essays. Based on a popular series at Salon.com, Maybe Baby offers both frank and nuanced opinions from a wide range of viewpoints on parenting choices, both alternative and traditional.
Yes: I've been granted access to a new plane of existence, one I could not have imagined, and would not now live without.--Peter Nichols
No: I can sort of see that it might be nice to have children, but there are a thousand things I'd rather spend my time doing than raise them.--Michelle Goldberg
Maybe: As we both slip into our mid-thirties, my own personal daddy dilemma has quietly taken on an urgency that I frankly didn't expect.--Larry Smith
From infertility to adoption, from ambivalence to baby lust, Maybe Baby brings together the full force of opinions about this national, but also intensely personal, debate.
