Book description
Possibly the only drawback about the bestselling How To Be A Woman
was that its author, Caitlin Moran, was limited to pretty much one
subject: being a woman.
MORANTHOLOGY is proof that Caitlin can actually be 'quite
chatty' about many other things, including cultural, social and
political issues which are usually the province of learned professors,
or hot-shot wonks - and not a woman who once, as an experiment, put a
wasp in a jar, and got it stoned.
These other subjects include:
Caffeine | Ghostbusters | Being Poor | Twitter | Caravans | Obama |
Wales | Marijuana Addiction |Paul McCartney | The Welfare State |
Sherlock | David Cameron Looking Like Ham | Amy Winehouse | Elizabeth
Taylor's Eyes | Michael Jackson's Funeral | 'The Big Society' | Big
Hair | Nutter-letters | Failed Nicknames | Wolverhampton | Squirrels'
Testicles | Sexy Tax | Binge-drinking | Chivalry | Rihanna's Cardigan
| Boris Johnson - Albino Shag-hound | Party Bags | Hot People|
Transsexuals | The Gay Moon Landings | My Own, Untimely Death
CAITLIN MORAN was brought up on a council estate in Wolverhampton,
where she was home-educated, wore a poncho, and had boys throw stones
at her whilst calling her 'a bummer'. Understandably keen to forge a
career and move on, Caitlin won the Observer's Young Reporter
of the Year competition at 15, and published her first novel, The
Chronicles of Narmo, in the same year. She briefly presented
Channel 4's late-night music show Naked City, aged 17, and then
became a columnist at The Times aged 18 - eventually ending up
writing three award-winning columns a week for the paper.
In 2011 Caitlin wrote the multi-award-winning bestseller How To
Be A Woman which was published in 16 countries and won the
British Book Awards Book of the Year.
Caitlin lives on Twitter with her husband and two children, and
spends an hour a week going 'But it's pronounced "Catlin". I
know! I know! The spelling unquestionably suggests otherwise! I am an idiot!'
