In the generation shortly before eating disorders are diagnosed and treated, Paulette quietly starves, heaves and cuts herself. Built like a '50spin-upgirl with apleadingpout, she detests herself and even though she lives for beauty, she cannot see her own. She takes sanctuary in the secondhand dressesscoredin thrift and vintage shops, a world of storied fabrics and a beacon for something meaningful beyond the California ideal that surrounds and often suffocates her. At 15, Paulette is a rocketheadingstraight into mid 1970's space. She has so little guidance and yet quite a lot of good fortune. Luckily she has a grandmother who relates to Paulette in the language of old clothing. And then there is her on-again, off-again romance with the semiotician Benjamin, who unzips more than a figure of speech.Over the course of seventeen years and seventeen vintage dresses, each frock tells adelicatetale, uttering significance and inspiring Paulette's transformation from girl, to gal to grown. Part coming of age, part homage to the rousing world of vintage, 17 Dressesis a haute and hauntingglanceatthesuffering that comes from not wantingto "fit in" to anything but that venerable dress in the window.
Autoren-Porträt von Pamela Klein
With a biting desire and need to write, Pamela Klein studied journalism in grad school, and became an editor at the LA Weekly when it was the largest alternative newspaper in America. She toured and explored the Caribbean, where she wrote about race and culture for various travel and literary magazines, and composed her first novel while living in St. Thomas. She has been collecting vintage dresses and jewelry for over 30 years and now lives near strawberry fields beside the sea in Oxnard with her husband and mini doxie Diggity. She scours the gold coast for heirlooms, relics and collectibles whenever she can, practices yoga, gardens and grows herself continuously in the liberal California sun. 17 Dresses is Klein's second novel.
