Literary Nonfiction. Autobiography. Social Science. No Wave founder Lydia Lunch's first book, PARADOXIA, proved that her presence is as strong on the page as it is on the stage. Her literary 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 in her ability to provoke discomfort and awe, terror and hope.
