✦ Synopsis
"In a candid and intimate new collection of essays, poems, memoirs, reviews, rants, and railleries, Piercy discusses her own development as a working-class feminist, the highs and lows of TV culture, the ego-dances of a writer's life, the homeless and the housewife, Allen Ginsberg and Marilyn Monroe, feminist utopias (and why she doesn't live in one), why fiction isn't physics; and of course, fame, sex, and money, not necessarily in that order. The short essays, poems, and personal memoirs intermingle like shards of glass that shine, reflect--and cut. Always personal yet always political, Piercy's work is drawn from a deep well of feminist and political activism. Also featured is our Outspoken Interview, in which the author lays out her personal rules for living on Cape Cod, finding your poetic voice, and making friends in Cuba."--Taken from publisher website.;The left left behind/ Terry Bisson -- The lucky strike / Kim Stanley Robinson -- The underbelly / Gary Phillips -- Mamoths of the Great Plains / Eleanor Arnason -- Modern times 2.0 / Michael Moorcock -- The wild girls / Ursula Le Guin -- Surfing the gnarl / Rudy Rucker -- The great big beautiful tomorrow / Cory Doctorow -- Report from Planet Midnight / Nalo Hopkinson -- The human front / Ken Macleod -- New taboos / John Shirley -- The science of herself / Karne Joy Fowler -- Raising hell / Norman Spinard -- Patty Hearst & The Twinkie Murders: a tale of two trials / Paul Krassner -- My life, my body / Marge Piercy.
