Book Reviews of Candy Girl: A Year in the Life of an Unlikely Stripper
Book Review: She was just a typist, why not be a stripper?
Summary: 1 Stars
"A copy typist by day in Minnesota, Cody was hardly a likely candidate for entering an amateur stripping contest."
Why is that so unlikely? A "copy typist" is just someone that types documents from handwritten notes. Quick google search reveals they make between $7 and $12 a hour. Is it any wonder she turned to stripping for easy money?
I think the title's misleading and it's not a shock that someone making such a low income would become a stripper. Now if she was a successful doctor or lawyer then I would say it's unlikely, but a typist becoming a stripper isn't a stretch.
Summary of Candy Girl: A Year in the Life of an Unlikely Stripper
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.
