About balancing modern life

About Me
- Linda Kulman
- Washington, DC, United States
- Friends Talking in the Night is meant to be an antidote to the fact that being an adult can be so complicated and time for real conversations--on balancing modern life, the culture of aging, books, politics, food, culture, and anything else we need to dissect --so scarce. I'm a writer and journalist who has reported on most of these areas and lived others first hand.
