Aprašymas

GIRL GONE WILD is the memoir of an unruly metamorphosis from girl to woman. Author Courtney Kocak is an actress-turned-writer who transplanted herself from the quiet cornfields of rural Minnesota to the filthy heart of Hollywood in her painfully protracted quest to "make it" in a time before our lives were flattened by the internet-a longer, more arduous journey than she ever imagined, full of unexpected detours like falling love with an abusive asshole and eventually having his abortion, a ModelMayhem photoshoot gone wrong, acting in independent films, a Craigslist massage for money, getting paid to kick a guy in the balls, getting hooked on Adderall, selling t-shirts on the Girls Gone Wild tour, and so much more. GIRL GONE WILD is a collection of exploits and delusions about chasing your dreams with reckless abandon and what happens when their pursuit becomes a new kind of trap. In this memoir-in-essays, Kocak takes readers along on her heady metamorphosis from girl to woman and from dreamer to professional artist, as she is transformed in this unwitting feminist coming of age. It's a wild, cringeworthy, and often heartbreaking tale, but with Kocak's wry wit and clear-eyed accounting, it's nothing short of captivating.
