Winner of the 2010 Lambda Award for Best Lesbian FictionFrom its unforgettable beginning—”My English professor’s ass was so beautiful.”—to its transcendent ending—”You can actually learn to have grace. And that’s heaven.”—poet, essayist, and performer Eileen Myles’s chronicle transmits an energy and vividness that will not soon leave its readers. Their story of a young writer discovering both her sexuality and her own creative drive in the meditative and raucous environment of New York City during its punk and indie heyday is engrossing, poignant, and funny. This is a voice from the underground that redefines the meaning of the word.
