"Lunch has defined the underground music and art scene for over thirty years. Predictable only in her unpredictability, she has exploited every creative outlet at her disposal, from film to books, photography to poetry." --SF Weekly

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.
