Provocative title of the week: ‘I Am a Magical Teenage Princess’

Posted on 10 April 2012 by Trisha, Managing Editor

Does this title need commentary?

From the back of the book: “In the stories of I Am a Magical Teenage Princess, Luke Geddes reexamines 1960s and contemporary popular culture with wit, insight, and pathos. A book for the magical teenage princess in all of us, this debut short story collection welcomes a unique and surprisingly wise voice to the world of letters.”

This is Wisconsin writer Luke Geddes’ first collection of short stories; Chômu Press is publishing it in July 2012. Find out more about Geddes and the book on his website, or read the story “Defunct Girl Gangs of North American Drive-Ins” online.

    I don’t see it as provocative, unless one’s identity is bound up with concepts of gender in a repressive or quasi-nationalistic way.
