Hypocrite in a Pouffy White Dress

De: Susan Jane Gilman

Narrado por: Susan Denaker

Based on the belief that there's more to women's lives than just getting a date, Gilman's stories tell of struggling to get a life and a clue, and engaging in some spectacularly demented behavior along the way. Whether she's an uncool white kid in a tough Puerto Rican neighborhood twirling around in her tutu, a teenager chasing rock stars, an ambitious cub reporter realizing there's more to the world than her own navel, or a feminist bride-to-be unexpectedly finding nirvana in David's Bridal Salon, Gilman's memoir is so engaging it reads like the very best fiction. At turns heartbreaking, insightful, and screamingly funny, it uniquely chronicles a generation and heralds a talented writer of note.©2005 Susan Jane Gilman (P)2005 Books on Tape, Inc.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Gilman...makes common scenarios fresh with humor and wry social commentary." (Publishers Weekly)
"Gilman's wisecracking, raw narrative about universal experiences...is reminiscent of David Sedaris' writing....Hilarious, assured, and moving, these are wildly entertaining stories that readers will want to share instantly with friends." (Booklist)

Hysterical! Great narrator!!

I read one review that said the narrator was bad and almost didn’t buy this but they are nuts because this narrator is absolutely hysterical and does multiple voices so well. I loved this

Just say no

If you are looking for a humorous, perceptive essays from a fresh point of view.... please download David Sedaris instead! The inanity of the trivial stories, the pretentious voice, is matched perfectly by the most patronizing narration I have ever encountered in an audiobook. I felt like a hypocrite of a thinking woman - for listening to this whole thing. I can only recommend it to people who found "The Nanny Diaries" insightful. Definitely sample before you buy!
