“A cult figure to a generation of post-punk females forming their own literary avant-garde.”—The New York Times Why can’t I live right now. Because I am not rich, I am not a saint. But I do know this: not all of us were sent here to work. The first published novel of legendary poet and performer Eileen Myles follows a queer female growing up in working-class Boston, straining against the institutions that hold her: family, Catholic school, jobs at a camp, at a nursing home, at a school for developmentally disabled adult males. Free-ranging and deadpan, tragic and joyful, this is a book about women, gender, class, bodies, escape, and what it means to be “inside.” Never more relevant, and now with an introduction by Chris Kraus.

Цитаты

  • Лиза Каменскаяцитирует7 лет назад
    The window in front of me was like a page and I was writing in a spiral notebook and I got this idea: I drew a sad woman’s face and I wrote what she was thinking and I thought, why can’t I be famous right now. Why can’t I just act that way. Why can’t I record everything down like my life counts, like I’m the Queen of England or Bobby Vee, and that way I can be safe and not have to wait to die to be important. Why can’t I live right now. Because I am not rich, I am not a saint. But I do know this: not all of us were sent here to work.

    that’s how men are raised. They’re deluded. They get the idea that they are more important, than, say, their sister. Then they go out into the world and discover that other men are more important than them. So of course they go home and slug their wives.

    My whole life had become a big mental health experiment.
