Flirt [Paperback]

Lorna Jackson (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 22, 2008

In Flirt, each story takes the form of a bogus interview with a famous person - athletes, musicians, writers. Each is a pastiche of source material that are then women into the book's main conceit: the interviews are conducted by a woman who would much rather tell her own story and can't stop talking about herself.
