Cultural Writing. Biography and Memoir. Lydia Lunch reveals in graphic detail the true psychic repercussions of sexual misadventure. From New York to London to New Orleans, PARADOXIA is an uncensored, novelized account of one woman's assault on the males of the species. Lydia Lunch was the primary investigator 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. "Paradoxia reveals that Lunch is at her est when she's at her worst... [and] gives voice to her sometimes scary, frequently funny, always canny, never sentimental siren song"--Barbara Kruger.
