Oh Jan Wong, and fake celebrity — 3 years ago
Picked this up at the church sale.
Enjoyed it partly for its unapologetic tone. Enjoyed it partly for the fact that most of the ‘celebrities’ were very nearly forgotten now.
It got me through a few rough nights when I was due to have started a heftier book, and for that I thank Jan Wong.
Interesting fact: I met Jan Wong at the first annual Canadian student journalism conference, organized and hosted by the University of Calgary Gauntlet. She gave a lunchtime keynote speech. She was on the book tour for this book at the time. She really is very short. I remember being impressed by her, though.
There you go.
