Tiny Ladies in Shiny Pants, by Jill Soloway
"I felt a little guilty and refreshed after reading this book, like spending an illicit afternoon with an amazing stranger."
-- Andrei Codrescu
"Were I a whip-smart Jewess possessing a natural gift for observation and a wickedly funny insightfulness, I hope I would write a book just like the one Jill Soloway has written."
-- Andy Richter
Jill Soloway, screenwriter and director extraordinaire, serves up a memoir with enormous bravado, candor, and humor. She takes on self-revelation, sex, celebrity, and feminism with confidence and--always-- a kick in the pants.
Soloway's new film, Afternoon Delight, just swept the director's award at Sundance and is opening nationwide this summer. After her ground-breaking work on Six Feet Under and United States of Tara, who doesn't want to know everything about her?
I wanted to know everything Soloway had to say about her life: from being a pint sized rock-star stalker in 80s Chicago, to a successful Hollywood writer and director who still considers herself a “starf*cker.” I’ll never forget the image she created of stars being giant babies wrapped in pashmina blankets with giant milky coffee drinks for bottles.
Narrated by Jill Soloway, like a one-woman radio play.
