Fiction. "Lizzy Acker's MONSTER PARTY is a rager of vulnerable tomboy bravado. This is the girl who you want holding back your hair at the end of the night, totally in touch with the ridiculous sickness of life—all its sad absurdity, useless longings, flares of courage and derring-do. There's a goofy punch of love fist-kissing at the heart of this book, bruising its tough poetry with melancholy humor. Totally awesome"—Michelle Tea.
