Eileen Myles, the popular author of Chelsea Girls and Not Me, the
poet who ran an openly female campaign for president in 1992, now
gives us a talking masterpiece of a novel that scratches out and
rewrites the picture of what fifty years of female life looks like
today. Cool For You is a darkly comic novel that traces the
downbeat progress of an Irish American girl through a series of
stuttering efforts to leave home. Cool For You's tough girl
narrator wants to be an astronaut. Instead, she becomes a poet and
takes us on a ferocious tour of, low-end schools, pathetic jobs,
and unmade beds. This is a book hell-bent on telling the truth
about poor women, how they do and do not get out of the hands of
the family and the State.
