Description
A sparkling cult classic about sex, growing up and being an American in Paris - now reissued in the gorgeous new green spine design.
"Here was all the gaiety and glory and sparkle I knew was going to be life if I could just grasp it..."
Sally Jay Gorce is a girl hellbent on living. It's the 1950s and she's an American in Paris: witty, headstrong and disaster-prone.
She dyes her hair pink, wears evening dresses in the daytime and prowls the Left Bank in search of love, adventure and fame. But an education like this doesn't come cheap. Will our heroine be forced back to the States to fulfill her destiny as a librarian, or can she keep up her whirlwind Parisian existence? As effervescent as a champagne cocktail, The Dud Avocado is a deliciously funny cult classic.
