![]() ![]() Johanna Morrigan is 14 years old and knows there has to be more to life than her small existence now offers. The story opens in 1990 in Wolverhampton, a city in the English West Midlands. "I rant about the welfare state, library closures and poverty," she explains on her website, "like a s - Dickens or Orwell, but with tits." And this irreverent summary, casually smutty, very funny, and barely disguising a serious intent, is the perfect introduction to her novel, How to Build a Girl. With humor and a wry, self-deprecating wit, she writes on a wide range of topics that include government, technology, beauty and pop culture - all of which become, under her feisty gaze, feminist issues.
