stripping is anything but normal

Stripping is a collection of stories about women who somehow didn't fit into society for whatever reason, be it that they were too intelligent, raped, too neurotic, etc. I loved it because of the attention to detail given to each story, and the authentic voice that each character has. My favorite story was the 1st in the book about the girl who develops an obsession with the death of Elvis. Each of the short stories will affect you in some way, and make this a book you won't forget.

This is the best of Pagan Kennedy's books. It has a bunch of short stories that are interesting as well as weird. She doesn't simply redo old themes, she has her own brain, and she's not afraid to use it.
