{"product_id":"my-g-string-mother-isbn-9781583940969","title":"My G-String Mother","description":"Erik was 12 when Gypsy decided she was through with striptease—'I’m forty-two years old. Too old to be taking my clothes off in front of strangers.' Her endless schemes for staying famous and maintaining their extravagant lifestyle—a best-selling writing career, a musical based on her life, a disastrous attempt to turn her home movies into a blockbuster—make for comedic yet poignant reading. \u003ci\u003eMy G-String Mother\u003c\/i\u003e is a stylish, incisive portrait of two lives: an awkward adolescent who was as much confidante, co-conspirator, and companion as son, and the legendary woman who told police at a raid at the famous Minsky’s burlesque house, 'I wasn’t naked. I was completely covered by a blue spotlight.'\"One fears a Mommie Dearest or at best a made-up Auntie Mame. And in Preminger’s surprisingly informative and entertaining book, we sort of get a combination of both. But there is a third person here – a woman of enormous good humor, eccentricity, and intelligence.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e-The San Francisco Chronicle\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This book absolutely had to be written.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e-London Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003eErik Lee Preminger was born Erik Lee on December 11, 1944 in New York City.
