    <![CDATA[Lily Burana had given up on stripping years before she accepted a marriage proposal-but decided to strip her way from Florida to Alaska before settling down. Lily, now a successful journalist, looks back at stripping with a writer's perspective. Her humorous yet hard-edged memoir deftly describes funky clubs and offbeat characters, the exhilaration that overtakes a dancer on stage-and the darker realities that assail her heart when she's out of the spotlight. Strip City is both a hugely entertaining insider's account of a hidden world and a moving voyage of self-discovery. Lily Burana has written for The New York Times Book Review, GQ, New York magazine, The Village Voice, Spin, and Salon. She lives in New York State. This is her 1st book.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[very well written but left a lot to be desired. . . i read it before i ever knew anything about it, and after being in the industry for 6 years, i find it to be far too tame to portray a real understanding of what it is like to be a dancer.  very informative on the history of stripping though.]]></body>
