The girls on the prowl in The Terrible Girls are indeed
terrible--relentless in love, ruthless in betrayal. These
thematically linked stories depict a contemporary Gothic world in
which body parts are traded for love, wounds never heal, and
self-sacrifice is often the only way out. "In this brilliantly
original work, Rebecca Brown gives us haunting parables of betrayal
and love, of loss and resurrection, of loneliness and solidarity.
Like a modern Djuna Barnes, Brown creates a language of telling
that is fiercely beautiful and honest. This book is a love story
unlike any you have read before. Its subversive and passionate
transformation carry the lesbian literary voice onto the 21st
century." --Joan Nestle "A dry, witty, graceful--if savage--gift."
--Mary Gaitskill "The Terrible Girls comes from one of the
fiercest, most potent, original writers around: a bloody flayer of
skins, both other's and her own ...a work of possessed and
persuasive visionary power." --The Listener "The Terrible Girls is
a powerful account of erotic love which exchanges the comforts of
illusion for more complex and less certain rewards." --The Times
