توضیحات

From the two-time Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter behind the groundbreaking albumExile in Guyvillecomes a haunting memoir in stories in the tradition of Patti Smith’sM Train

When Liz Phair was just starting out in the Wicker Park, Chicago, music scene in the early 1990s, she mostly encountered a**holes–mostly men, who didn’t respect her and were determined not to see her fail, exactly, because they didn’t care enough about her to wish failure on her–they just wanted her to get out of their space, todisappear. ‘Girly Sound’ was the name of the cassettes she used to pass around in those days, and in 1993 those songs became the landmark albumExile in Guyville, which turned Phair, at twenty-five, into a foul-mouthed feminist icon.

Now, like a Gen X Patti Smith, Liz Phair tells the story of her life and career in a memoir about the moments that have haunted her most. Horror is in the eye of the beholder. For Phair, horror is what stays with you–the often unrecognized, universal experiences of daily pain, shame, and fear that make up our common humanity. In Phair’s case it means the dangers of falling for ‘the perfect guy,’ and the disaster that awaits her; the memory of a stranger passed out on a bathroom floor amid a crowd of girls, forcing her to consider our responsibilities to one another, and the gnawing regret of being a bystander; and the profound sense of emptiness she experienced on the set of her first celebrity photoshoot.

Horror Storiesreads like the confessions of a friend, a book that gathers up all of our isolated shames, bringing us together in our shared imperfection, our uncertainty and our cowardice, smashing the stigma of not being in control. But most importantly,Horror Storiesis a memoir that asks questions of how we feel about the things that have happened to us, how we cope with regret and culpability, and how we break the spell of those things, leeching them of their power over us. This memoir is an immersive experience, taking readers inside the most intimate moments of Phair’s life. Her fearless prose, wit, and uncompromising honesty transform those deeply personal moments into tales about each and every one of us–that will appeal to both the serious fan and the serious reader.

زمانی که لیز فیر تازه در پارک ویکر شروع به کار می کرد. در شیکاگو، صحنه موسیقی در اوایل دهه 1990، او بیشتر با یک**حفره مواجه شد – بیشتر مردانی که به او احترام نمی گذاشتند و مصمم بودند که شکست او را نبینند، دقیقاً، زیرا آنها به اندازه کافی به آرزویش اهمیت نمی دادند. شکست در مورد او – آنها فقط می خواستند او از فضای خود خارج شود، تاناپدید شود. «آوای دخترانه» نام کاست هایی بود که او در آن روزها از آن استفاده می کرد و در سال 1993 این آهنگ ها به آلبوم برجسته تبعید در گیویل تبدیل شدند که فیر را در بیست و پنج سالگی به یک آلبوم تبدیل کرد. نماد فمینیستی بد دهن.
