Moranifesto

Then she thought of the word 'Moranifesto', and she knew what she had to do.Introducing every piece and weaving her writing together into a brilliant, seamless narrative-just as she did in Moranthology-Caitlin combines the best of her recent columns with lots of new writing unique to this book as she offers a characteristically fun and witty look at the news, celebrity culture, and society.
