Queen of the Oddballs: And Other True Stories from a Life Unaccording to Plan (2006)
-- Finalist
2006
Lambda Literary Award
for Biography (Lesbian);
Finalist 2006 Lambda Literary Award for Humor
A hilariously offbeat memoir about an adventurous young woman's
escapades as she defies conventions and transforms an ordinary Los Angeles
life into a star-studded, extraordinary miracle of self-discovery.
Queen of the Oddballs forms a chronology of Hillary Carlip's
habitual straying from roads more traveled -- from a wisecracking
third-grader suspended from school for smoking (while imitating Holly
Golightly) to a headline-making teen activist, juggler and fire eater,
friend (NOT "fan") of Carly Simon and Carole King, grand prize-winning
Gong Show contestant, cult rock star, and seeker of spiritual and
romantic truths that definitely defy expectations.
Illustrated with ephemera -- from diary entries and photographs to a
handwritten letter from Carly Simon -- Queen of the Oddballs
presents a virtual time capsule of pop culture's last four decades and
celebrates a creative life lived to the hilt.
