How to Be Famous by Caitlin Moran

Often described as a British version of Tina Fey, columnist and humor writer Caitlin Moran is best known in the US for the 2014 coming-of-age novel How to Build a Girl, about a budding rock critic in the 1990s. In the new sequel—which Moran discusses at this reading—the semiautobiographical protagonist has a one-night stand with a comedian and deals with a sex tape, among other indignities.
