HOW TO BE FAMOUS - CAITLIN MORAN GEBUNDEN

A hilarious  heartfelt sequel to How to Build a Girl  the breakout novel from feminist
sensation Caitlin Moran who the New York Times called  rowdy and fearless . . . sloppy 
big-hearted and alive in all the right ways. You can't have your best friend be famous if
you're not famous. It doesn't work. You're emotional pen-friends. You can send each other
letters-but you're not doing anything together. You live in different countries. Johanna
Morrigan (AKA Dolly Wilde) has it all: at eighteen  she lives in her own flat in London and
writes for the coolest music magazine in Britain. But Johanna is miserable. Her best friend and
man of her dreams John Kite has just made it big in 1994's hot new BritPop scene. Suddenly John
exists on another plane of reality: that of the Famouses. Never one to sit on the sidelines 
Johanna hatches a plan: she will Saint Paul his Corinthians  she will Jimmy his Pinocchio-she
will write a monthly column  by way of a manual to the famous  analyzing fame  its power  its
dangers  and its amusing aspects. In stories  girls never win the girl-they are won. Well 
Johanna will re-write the stories  and win John  through her writing. But as Johanna's own star
rises  an unpleasant one-night stand she had with a stand-up comedian  Jerry Sharp  comes back
to haunt in her in a series of unfortunate consequences. How can a girl deal with public sexual
shaming? Especially when her new friend  the up-and-coming feminist rock icon Suzanne Banks  is
Jimmy Cricketing her? For anyone who has been a girl or known one  who has admired fame or
judged it  and above all anyone who loves to laugh till their sides ache  How to Be Famous is a
big-hearted  hilarious tale of fame and fortune-and all they entail.
