Lydia Lunch has a new book: This life shit is deadly serious, so lets have a party

American singer and poet Lydia Lunch has a new book So Real It Hurts, about everything from violent feminist revenge fantasies to diatribes on pollution and politics. The anthology “was rejected by 26 American publishers – and I’m quite happy to say that. I wanted that stamped on the front cover, actually”, she told Guardian. When she eventually found a publisher, Seven Stories, she asked them "Why do you want to publish this book?", and one of them said, "Because I laughed at every chapter", so "finally! Someone gets it", she concluded! What makes her happy these days? - “Laughing after I’ve cried. I think my rebellion has always been and will always be pleasure".
