McDonald, Janet

SUMMARY

"An eloquent account of a remarkable life, Project Girl should be placed on all high school and college reading lists and offered to anyone looking for a book beautifully written."--Frank McCourt, author of Angela's Ashes "In her engrossing memoir, McDonald, a Brooklyn-born lawyer now living in Paris, compares herself to Icarus because she, too, soared and fell mightily. The difference is that after her falls, McDonald picked herself up and charged onward."--Sara Ivry, New York Times Book Review "Devastating. . . . McDonald argues her case with lawyerly concision, drop-dead ghetto humor, and just a touch of schoolgirl psychobabble. . . . No wonder McDonald fled to Paris, where, freed from the American obsession with race, she wrote this stinging epitaph for the decade that gave us the word yuppie."--Susanne Ruta, Entertainment Weekly "Going to the bookstore is becoming more and more like riding in a subway--there are a whole bunch of people with stories to tell but very few who know how to tell a good story. Every once in a while though, we might find ourselves sitting next to someone whose story is so intriguing that we actually miss our stop because we are so engrossed in their tale. Such is the effect of Janet McDonald's Project Girl."--Deborah Cowell, Black Issues Book ReviewMcDonald, Janet is the author of 'Project Girl', published 2000 under ISBN 9780520223455 and ISBN 0520223454.
