| "Hypocrite
in A Pouffy White Dress," Susan Jane Gilman's latest book, is a hilarious,
nakedly honest memoir about growing up groovy and clueless in New York City.
An instant New York Times' Bestseller, "Hypocrite" proves there's
far more to women's lives than great shoes and bad dates. Gilman writes
about her spectacularly idiotic and unique adventures in growing up -- yet
does so in a way that everyone can relate to. Whether she's describing being
an uncool white kid in a tough Puerto Rican neighborhood, a teenager throwing
herself at a rock star, an ambitious cub reporter discovering that there's
more to life than her own navel, or a feminist bride having a melt-down
in David's Bridal Salon, Gilman's true stories are so engaging, they read
like the very best fiction. At turns heartbreaking, insightful, and screamingly
funny, "Hypocrite" chronicles a generation -- and is a book that
readers will instantly want to read aloud to their friends. |
