Jocelyn, Jodie, Jennifer, Jacqui, Joelle. Ignoring the optimistic
advice of elders, these five working-class teens in the Rust Belt
band together in their embrace of bad behavior and poor taste as
they navigate sexuality and identity with loud-mouthed joy and
clear-eyed cynicism. Winner of the 2021 Blue Light Books Prize,
Rochelle Hurt's The J Girls: A Reality Show is a tribute to the
grit and glitter of millennial girlhood and a testament to its
dangers and traumas. Hurt's creative, genre-bending mix of poetry,
fiction, and screenplay brings the girls to life with campy
performances of monologues, soap opera clips, mock interviews, talk
shows, commercials, and even burlesque. Vulgar, rhapsodic language
serves as costume and shield, allowing the J Girls to script their
own images and project glowing, outsized versions of themselves
into the safe space of the TV screen. Playful and poignant, The J
Girls is a flashy ode to performance and a nostalgic elegy for
adolescent friendships.
