Her poignantly funny sometimes melancholy and always riveting memoir recounts her extraordinary life up until her thirteenth birthday. School was a particularly happy eventit meant a hot lunch and clothes that matched! But Clanes mother warned her that schools are just zoos run by the government. From a world of complex relationships uncertain rules and constant surprises Clane forged a childhood sometimes with sometimes without her bong-puffing Buddha-quoting macrobiotic mother and her wild-haired redneck father. The Hypocrisy of Disco is an honest direct and truly unforgettable tale and a tribute to the resilience of youth.
