Candy Girl by Diablo Cody

Candy Girl by Diablo Cody

Decreed by David Letterman (tongue in cheek) on CBS TV's The Late Show to be the pick of "Dave's Book Club 2006," Candy Girl is the story of a young writer who dared to bare it all as a stripper. At the age of twenty-four, Diablo Cody decided there had to be more to life than typing copy at an ad agency. She soon managed to find inspiration from a most unlikely source-- amateur night at the seedy Skyway Lounge. While she doesn't take home the prize that night, Diablo discovers to her surprise the act of stripping is an absolute thrill.

This is Diablo's captivating fish-out-of-water story of her yearlong walk on the wild side, from quiet gentlemen's clubs to multilevel sex palaces and glassed-in peep shows. In witty prose she gives readers a behind-the-scenes look at this industry through a writer's keen eye, chronicling her descent into the skin trade and the effect it had on her self-image and her relationship with her now husband.

Juno, Young Adult, Jennifer's Body, Ricki and the Flash, and Tully are among Diablo Cody's Academy Award-winning screenplays. She has worked with Steven Spielberg on the Emmy and Golden Globe-winning series United States of Tara, as well as Tig Notaro on the WGA-nominated series One Mississippi. She continues to develop series for both cable and broadcast television with Warner Brothers Studios through her company, Vita Vera Films. Following the musical's sold-out world premiere at the American Repertory Theater in Boston, she makes her Broadway debut as a playwright with Jagged Little Pill.
