Description

Barbie is an American icon that has become a cultural phenomenon. However, as adults, we often struggle to reconcile our childhood fascination with this doll with its adult connotations. In Mondo Barbie, the editors explore the complex relationship between Barbie and her fans, examining how the fantasy of a perfect child collides with the harsh realities of adulthood. The book features poems and stories from various perspectives, including those that critique and subvert the Barbie ideal. Through these works, the authors reveal the diverse ways in which Barbie has been interpreted and reinterpreted by artists, writers, and everyday people, often with surprising and thought-provoking results.
