"Paradoxia reveals that Lunch is at her best when she's at her worst .
. . [and] gives voice to her sometimes scary, frequently funny, always
canny, never sentimental siren song.--Barbara Kruger, Artforum
Lydia Lunch relays in graphic detail the true psychic repercussions of
sexual misadventure. From New York to London to New Orleans, Paradoxia
is an uncensored, novelized account of one woman's assault on men.
Lydia Lunch was the primary instigator of the No Wave Movement and
the focal point of the Cinema of Transgression. A musician, writer, and
photographer, she exposes the dark underbelly of passion confronting the
lusty demons whose struggle for power and control forever stalk the
periphery of our collective obsessions.
