Strip City: A stripper's farewell journey across America

* The ultimate road trip - a stripper's farewell journey across America* Compelling and unswervingly candid, Strip City is both a hugely entertaining insider's account of a hidden world and a moving voyage of self-discovery. Lily Burana accepts a marriage proposal - but first decides to strip her way from Florida to Alaska before settling down. An eighteen-year-old dropout when she first entered the world of exotic dancing, Lily, now a successful journalist, looks at stripping with a writer's perspective, open to the paradoxes and challenges that face exotic dancers. She takes the stage name of Barbie Faust and strips her way across the country. Her funny but hard-edged memoir describes funky clubs and off-beat characters, the exhilaration that overtakes a dancer on stage - and the darker realities that assail her when she's out of the spotlight.
