Available once again for a new generation of readers, the groundbreaking and candid coming-of-age novel in-real-time from one of America's most celebrated poets that is considered a cult classic.

In this breathtakingly inventive autobiographical novel, Eileen Myles transforms life into a work of art. Told in her audacious voice, made vivid and immediate in her lyrical language, Chelsea Girls cobbles together memories of Myles' 1960s Catholic upbringing with an alcoholic father, her volatile adolescence, her unabashed -lesbianity, - and her riotous pursuit of survival as a...

Doch als eines Tages eine ganze Kiste voller unersetzbarer Aufzeichnungen verschwindet, tost ein Tornado radikaler Überlegungen los, der alles durcheinanderwirbelt, alle vermeintlichen Gewissheiten über das Wesen der Vergangenheit sowie Sinn und...

But when the theorist refuses to answer her letters, the...

Sometime after Andy Warhol s heyday but before Soho became a tourist trap, a group of poets, punk rockers, guerilla journalists, graffiti artists, writers, and activists transformed lower Manhattan into an artistic scene so diverse it became known simply as Downtown. Willfully unpolished and subversively intelligent, figures such as Spalding Gray, Kathy Acker, Richard Hell, David Wojnarowicz, Lynne Tillman, Miguel Pinero, and Eric...
