My dark shin fur was hard to ignore in shorts weather, and my mother gave me a box from the Modess company. It was a my first period kit, and inside were samples of pads and panty liners. #2 I had menarche in 1981 when I was ten years old. I was very sympathetic, but I was also a little baffled. I had read the pamphlet How Shall I Tell My Daughter. but nowhere in it did it say that your period was not a blue liquid. #3 The author experienced car creepery at 13, when a man yelled Nice tits at her while she was walking home from school. She responded by yelling Suck my dick, which is not the moment she associates with entering womanhood. It was when she bought this kickass white denim suit at the Springfield mall. #4 I had a gynecology appointment in Chicago, and it was at a Planned Parenthood. I was taken to an examining room where a big butch nurse practitioner asked me if I was pregnant. I said no, and she took out a speculum the size of a milk shake machine. I fainted both times they tried to examine me.

Aria expects boredom, but what she finds is Steph Nichols, her grandmother’s gardener.

Download or read book The Taliban Shuffle written by Kim Barker and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2011-03-22 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A true-life Catch-22 set in the deeply dysfunctional countries of Afghanistan and Pakistan, by one of the region’s longest-serving correspondents. Kim Barker is not your typical, impassive foreign correspondent—she is candid, self-deprecating, laugh-out-loud funny. At first an awkward newbie in Afghanistan, she grows into a wisecracking, seasoned reporter with grave concerns about our ability to win hearts and minds in the region. In The Taliban Shuffle, Barker offers an insider’s account of the “forgotten war” in Afghanistan and Pakistan, chronicling the years after America’s initial routing of the Taliban, when we failed to finish the job. When Barker arrives in Kabul, foreign aid is at a record low, electricity is a pipe dream, and of the few remaining foreign troops, some aren’t allowed out after dark. Meanwhile, in the vacuum left by the U.S. and NATO, the Taliban is regrouping as the Afghan and Pakistani governments flounder. Barker watches Afghan police recruits make a travesty of practice drills and observes the disorienting turnover of diplomatic staff. She is pursued romantically by the former prime minister of Pakistan and sees adrenaline-fueled colleagues disappear into the clutches of the Taliban. And as her love for these hapless countries grows, her hopes for their stability and security fade. Swift, funny, and wholly original, The Taliban Shuffle unforgettably captures the absurdities and tragedies of life in a war zone.
