“Lydia Lunch is an American icon.”
—Austin American-Statesman

“Lunch has defined the underground music and art scene for over thirty years. Predictable only in her unpredictability, she has exploited every creative outlet at her disposal, from film to books, photography to poetry.”
—SF Weekly

Praise for Paradoxia:

“Lunch’s headlong plunge into manic devastation and corruption at times recalls the better work of William S. Burroughs . . . Strangely honest rantings from a modern-day Genet.”
—Kirkus Reviews

“A gritty, autobiographical tale of hedonistic excess through three decades.”
—Los Angeles Times

“Hubert Selby, Jr. famously said that he grew up feeling like a scream without a mouth. Lydia Lunch, one of his most celebrated—and most uncompromising—literary progeny, delivered scream mouth, teeth, blood, hair, sperm, knife, and adrenaline . . .”
—Jerry Stahl, author of Permanent Midnight
