Barbie is an American icon. But Barbie becomes a problem when the adult fantasy collides with the child's fantasy. All that misplaced Barbie angst of our youth, all the childhood conditioning, and the adult results are revealed at last in Mondo Barbie.

As the title suggests, this is a vivid collection of stories, poems, dreams, wishes and wild imaginings about an unforgettable actor who lived fast, died young and left a beautiful corpse.
