Stripping and Other Stories by Pagan Kennedy
Stripping is a collection of stories about female misfits - punk teenagers, voodoo queens, math. nerds, sickly little girls - each coping with the limits of her life by making up an elaborate and flattering lie about herself, a fantastic tale in which she escapes her helpless situation. Whether describing a pilgrimage to Elvis Presley?s bathroom by two young punks, a rape in a farmhouse, or a mother-daughter relationship revolving around Prozac and a lifetime of thearpy, Pagan Kennedy expertly strips away the secrets and pretentions of American life.
