- Summary
- "Before #MeToo, before Riot Grrl, there was Lydia Lunch. A central figure in the no-wave scene of the 70s--as founder of the seminal Teenage Jesus & The Jerks--Lunch has spent the decades since turning the substance of her life into unapologetic, stark, and beautiful art. An accompaniment to Beth B's documentary of the same name, this book is the first comprehensive overview of Lunch's creative campaign of resistance, a celebration of pleasure as the ultimate act of rebellion. Across these pages, Lunch and her numerous collaborators--including Thurston Moore, Jim Sclavunos, Kid Congo Powers, Bob Bert, and Richard Kern--recount life at the frontline of the musical extremes of the 70s and 80s underground, the wild times, the disciplined productivity, life lived as a defender of the voiceless, and an unapologetic force of righteous fury. The book also includes dozens of photographs from across Lunch's career, many of them rarely seen." --
