“I thought both she [Gypsy Rose Lee] and her story would be ill-served by a conventional, birth-to-death narrative, and so I structured the book like one of her stripteases: revealing a peek of shoulder, then a glimpse of knee, pulling back a bit before you go a bit further, until all is revealed at the end.” BookEndsStoriesWould BeBitsBirthRoseIllShouldersNarrativeKneesConventionalPullingGlimpseRevealingGypsy Author:Karen Abbott
“She once said, 'I'm really a little prudish, which people may think incongruous'. I take a prudish point of view on certain films, books, and trends.
