SUMMARY:ACF RECOMMENDS | READING | ANA TAJDER | From Barbie to Vibrator
DESCRIPTION:Ana Tajder reading from her debut novel “From Barbie to Vibrator” at the Bluestockings Bookstore New York.\nIn her debut novel “From Barbie to Vibrator”, Ana Tajder introduces us to a glittering world of ambitious, self-confident and fun-loving young women. Her short, partially fictional, partially autobiographical episodes dramatize friendships, careers, sex and parties. Yet more importantly, they highlight the metamorphosis that takes place as Ana turns away from the posh life of a Barbie doll and moves towards a conscious orientation on the self – even without a “Mr. Right” in the background. Ana Tajder portrays and questions a generation that, lost in its freedoms, possibilities and chances, hastily chases mainstream media-imposed priorities. She shows that happiness takes more than financial success and attractive looks. This highly entertaining collection of short stories analyzes an entire generation, a society and, most importantly, the self.\n“Although feministic, this book shows with an attitude the other side of the picture – the crisis and the exhaustion, which such an attitude can cause. Ana is analyzing the system we live in, and its influence on what we are going though.” – Fokus\nOriginally written in English, the book has been translated into German and Croatian:\nVon der Barbie zum Vibrator,  2009, Czernin Verlag Vienna (ISBN 978-953-12-0786-7)\nOd Barbie do Vibratora, 2008, Profil Intl., Zagreb (ISBN 978-3-7076-0287-6)\nExcerpts from From Barbie to Vibrator:\nhttp://www.tajder.com/writings/from-b-to-v-2\n \nVENUE\nBluestockings Bookstore\n172 Allen Street\nNew York, NY 10002\nhttp://bluestockings.com/\n\nFree admission\nFor further information please visit:\nhttp://bluestockings.com/\n
