The book belongs to the humorous memoir and biographical satire genres. It leans heavily into mid-century comedy, journalism anecdotes, and tongue-in-cheek social commentary regarding gender and the media. 

The book follows the comical professional transition of Hyman Goldberg. He began his journalism career as a traditional "boy reporter," covering gritty, hard-hitting stories like murders, police beats, and major catastrophes. However, he eventually shifts roles to become a "girl reporter". In this context, the term refers to his new assignment writing sensationalized, human-interest feature stories for Sunday newspaper supplements—a beat traditionally associated with or targeted toward female readers and writers of that era.
