Slander, not geography had always been my strongest suit' observes Bette Midler as she recalls the heady days leading up to her first world tour. Then she was off, wisecracking her way from Seattle to Gothenburg to Frankfurt to Adelaide. Armed with a notepad on which she wrote herself various exhortations. (Thoughts to be Avoided: 1. They won't understand a word I say. 2. They will UNDERSTAND and take offense. 3. They won't understand BUT will take offense antway.). which was her only defence against the barbarities of alien cultures, she survived to write this zany account of the trip. Full of her excoriating wit, here overflowing into the dazzling pictures that accompany the text, this is a distillation of the Midler personality lavishly presented, throbbing with life, double entendre and hilarity. 23. Fine/Near Fine.
