January Book Club: The Barbie Chronicles: A Living Doll Turns Forty


  • Ultra Violet Pole and Cirque 300 Campbell Avenue, Unit 209 Toronto, ON, M6P 3V6 Canada (map)

A thoroughly grown-up look at a twentieth-century must of outstanding proportions

To some she's a collectible, to others she's trash. In The Barbie Chronicles, twenty-three writers join together to scrutinize Barbie's forty years of hateful, lovely disastrous, glorious influence on us all. No other tiny shoulders have ever, had to carry the weight of such affection and derision and no other book has ever paid this notorious little place of plastic her due. Whether you adore her or abhor her, The Barbie Chronicles will have you looking at her in ways you never imagined.

Purchase the book here or check your local bookstore and library.
