Throw your suggestions in here. (General Joy, thank you, thanks for nudging the thread along )
How would y'all feel about non-fiction for April? I'm dying to get into a memoir. All this fiction has me loopy.
That said, I'm throwing out my suggestion, Hypocrite in a Pouffy White Dress by Susan Jane Gilman.
Here is the synopsis (please include one with your suggestion):
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.
