Summary: Cookie Mueller.
Comment: It's extremely difficult to not like this book. It screams for attention like an unkempt debutante with her bouffanted hairdo carelessly peppered with curlers and hairpins whilst balancing precariously on one leg while reciting the lyrics to the Star Spangled Banner backwards. Delightfully camp, poignant, and full of references to cultural mavens John Waters, Divine, and the entire Baltimore jetset popularized by the notorious director of "Pink Flamingos" etc. Read this book if you're depressed or on the brink of a nervous breakdown because it's the best home remedy for the blues.
Rating: 4
Summary: Putting Courtney Love's schtick to shame
Comment: Cookie Mueller was a rare bird, indeed. Although a dark-hearted urban creature of Manhattan, she was also a natural-born writer, and more than that, a risk-taker who made no apologies and was able to maintain an insightful eloquence about her mistakes and triumphs.
What triumphs could those be, you ask? A junkie freak with a penchant for public urination? Her written documentation is the parallel of the photography of Diane Arbus, Nan Goldin and Mary Ellen Mark. She reported her milieu without much sympathy and her readers are the wiser for it.
Don't read this if: you are squeamish about drugs, ambivalent sexuality or bodily functions. Also don't attempt it if: you tend to glorify the rot of drug addiction, death, and/or perversion. Either way, you'll be disappointed. Do read it if: you're a fan of the unvarnished stuff of life, told in fanciful reportage, with little self-consciousness.
I think Cookie would approve if I close by saying that these collected essays are perfect toilet reading.
