Who is "Jenny"? Well, who isn't she? Tara Rebele, in her debut collection, crafts a series of defiant, sublime, racy and hilarious monologues in this hybrid text. Prosaic, poetic, and rooted in the performance arts, this book promises to help redefine "feminism" for the 21st century.

"This is a book of cranky Not-Jennies with their hairy legs and skin allergies and church basement buck-a-bag sale white blouses with yellowed armpits. And why wouldn't they hate those "booth tanned cell phone chatting red car driving black bag toting shopping by appointment always smelling like hair care Jennies"? So did we girls learn that life isn't fair, but some have it fairer than others - and those bitches are always named Jenny."  - Eleanor Antin

"[Fewer] fucks than Acker but more original to me ... you laugh until it hurts and are hurt laughing ... the wit is savage. Essential. Read and you'll hear, loud and clear."  - John Kinsella
