Description

Walking Through Clear Water in a Pool Painted Black is the only storycollection from the legendary writer, actress, ex-biker and columnist CookieMueller. Mueller chronicles her high-risk, high-reward life in glorious technicolour, frombecoming a part of John Waters' legendary acting troupe to becoming amother, from describing the hedonism of 1980s New York to critiquing thegovernment's dire response to the AIDS epidemic. Cookie's voice is fresh,wise, freewheeling and unafraid of darkness. Like a lysergic Nora Ephron,she is the candid flipside to the idealistic hippie dream. Whether good, bad orugly, her stories are fiercely entertaining and reliably honest. Featuring a new introduction by Olivia Laing, this edition collects Mueller'sstories, columns and writings, and presents a testament to a life livedcourageously and well. 'A how-to manual for a life ricocheting joyously off the rails . . . a live corrective to conformity, conservatism and cruelty' - OLIVIA LAING
