Cool for You: A Novel

Cool for You: A Novel

â€œA cult figure to a generation of post-punk females forming their own literary avant-garde.â€â€•The New York Times

Why canâ€™t I live right now. Because I am not rich, I am not a saint. But I do know this: not all of us were sent here to work. The first published novel of legendary poet and performer Eileen Myles follows a queer female growing up in working-class Boston, straining against the institutions that hold her: family, Catholic school, jobs at a camp, at a nursing home, at a school for developmentally disabled adult males. Free-ranging and deadpan, tragic and joyful, this is a book about women, gender, class, bodies, escape, and what it means to be â€œinside.â€ Never more relevant, and now with an introduction by Chris Kraus.
