Description

The girls on the prowl in The Terrible Girls are indeed terrible--relentless in love, ruthless in betrayal.

These thematically linked stories depict a contemporary Gothic world in which body parts are traded for love, wounds never heal, and self-sacrifice is often the only way out. "In this brilliantly original work, Rebecca Brown gives us haunting parables of betrayal and love, of loss and resurrection, of loneliness and solidarity.

Like a modern Djuna Barnes, Brown creates a language of telling that is fiercely beautiful and honest.

This book is a love story unlike any you have read before.

Its subversive and passionate transformation carry the lesbian literary voice onto the 21st century." --Joan Nestle "A dry, witty, graceful--if savage--gift." --Mary Gaitskill "The Terrible Girls comes from one of the fiercest, most potent, original writers around: a bloody flayer of skins, both other's and her own ...a work of possessed and persuasive visionary power." --The Listener "The Terrible Girls is a powerful account of erotic love which exchanges the comforts of illusion for more complex and less certain rewards."--The Times Literary Supplement Rebecca Brown is the winner of the 2003 Washington State Book Award.

Her books, which are all published by City Lights, include: The Haunted House, The Terrible Girls, The End of Youth, The Last Time I Saw You, and The Dogs, Annie Oakley's Girl.

She was awarded a Genius Award and grant from Seattle's weekly magazine, The Stranger.
