Description

No Wave founder Lydia Lunch's first book, Paradoxia (Akashic, 2007), proved that she is as strong on the page as it is on the stage. Her talents are even more impressive and varied in this iconoclastic and uncompromising collection. Whether crafting personal essays, short fiction, or interviews with fellow antiheroes Hubert Selby Jr. and Nick Tosches, Lunch dazzles with her ability to provoke discomfort and awe, terror and hope.

Author Biography

Lydia Lunch was the primary instigator of the No Wave Movement, and the focal point of the Cinema of Transgression. A musician, writer, and photographer, she exposes the dark underbelly of passion confronting the lusty demons whose struggle for power and control forever stalk the periphery of our collective obsessions.
