The mortal conflict of the sexes; traced here by Strindberg in the clash between an aristocratic young woman and her valet. Ms. Stockenstroms new translation retains the rhythm and emotional feel of the original while making the prose more playable for todays audiences.

All the different chapter authors reading their own sections and recounting their times in this great era. Highly recommended!3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. The LA punk scene as it (pretty much) actually happened.By Joseph M RamirezIts hard to be truly objective about this book; since I was a part (though peripherally in a less-popular sub-scene) of its contents. But still; I very much enjoyed the different voices and perspectives of (very) good friends; people that I knew; had perhaps met; or had only heard about; and their take on a time that now seems like a curious dream to me.John Does between-chapter stories paint him as a Rod Serling-like observer and commentator; though unlike Mr. Serling; John and Exene and their merry crew were integral actors in the stories he and the contributors write about. Their recollections are true to the time and spirit of that era; and bring to life a cultural and musical moment that; though it shone brightly (or darkly; depending on your point of view); lasted too briefly before splintering and adsorbing into the larger cultural and musical fundament.I read it all in one sitting and felt at once nostalgic and melancholy.Its very good.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. this book is a great read.

Written by some of the most interesting musical artists from the west coast music scene this series of essays helps paint a wonderfully grimy and often insightful developing music scene. Fun; evocative and often hilarious; this book lets us peek back into our youth and see the music we loved with new eyes. Includes an essay by the great Dave Alvin; (A personal favorite of mine) that lets you know that fitting in and being cool seemed just as alien to the people on stage as it was to the people in the audience. Fun; wild and just great to read. thanks John Doe for putting this together.
