Produktbeschreibung

"Breezy... juicy... irresistible" this memoir from a former Rolling Stone reporter is "as entertaining as the megastars she has built a career on profiling" ( Entertainment Weekly). New Jersey in the 1980s had everything Jancee Dunn wanted: trips down the shore, Bruce Springsteen, a tantalizing array of malls, and, especially, her family. But one night she met a girl who worked at Rolling Stonemagazine in New York City. To Jancee, who visited the city exactly once a year, New York might as well have been in Canada. But she loved music, so she passed along her résumé. Soon Jancee was behind the scenes, interviewing some of the most famous people in the world, among them Madonna, Cameron Diaz, and Beyoncé. She trekked to the Canadian Rockies to hike with Brad Pitt, was chased by paparazzi who mistook her for Ben Affleck's new girlfriend, snacked on Velveeta with Dolly Parton, and danced drunkenly onstage with the Beastie Boys. She even became a TV star as a pioneering VJ on MTV2. As her life spun faster, she traded her good-girl suburban past for late nights and hipster guys. But then a chance meeting turned Jancee's life in an unexpected direction and helped her to finally learn to appreciate where she came from, who she was, and what she wanted to be. Hilarious and touching, But Enough About Meis the story of an outsider who couldn't quite bring herself to become an insider and introduces readers to a lovable real-life heroine. "An inside look at being a celebrity journalist." - New Yorker "Disarmingly funny." - People "Relentlessly readable." - New York Magazine "Pitch-perfect." - Vogue
