Chelsea Girls Author: Eileen Myles

ISBN: 9781781257807 Format: Paperback Number Of Pages: 288 Published: 28 September 2016 Country of Publication: GB Dimensions (cm): 20.0 x 13.0 x 1.5 Description: A groundbreaking and candid novel-in-real-time, considered a cult classic, from one of America's most celebrated poets.

In this breathtakingly inventive autobiographical novel, Eileen Myles transforms her life into a work of art. Suffused with alcohol, drugs, and sex; evocative in its depictions of the hardscrabble realities of a young queer artist's life; with raw, flickering stories of awkward love, laughter, and discovery, Chelsea Girls is a funny, cool, and intimate account of how one young female writer managed to shrug off the imposition of a rigid cultural identity.

Told in her audacious and singular voice made vivid and immediate in her lyrical language, Chelsea Girls weaves together memories of Myles's 1960s Catholic upbringing with an alcoholic father, her volatile adolescence, her unabashed lesbianity, and her riotous pursuit of survival as a poet in 1970s and 80s New York.
