In Part 2 of this Gen X Cultural Autopsy, we explore the novels that didn’t just make us skeptical — they made us aware. From The Handmaid’s Tale to It to Judy Blume’s honest portrayals of doubt, these books shaped how Gen X processed authority, trauma, religion, and fear long before many of us walked away from institutional faith.

Part of the “Why Gen X Walked Away” series.
