Book Description

May 1, 2002

A new century, maybe, but what the mainstream media sees as 'womens interests' remains totally predictable. Inappropriate Behaviour is a collection by writers who neither wish to be Bridget Jones or look like Jennifer Aniston, nor do they want to experience plastic surgery or winter in Taos or make things with radiccio. Subject matter? Molls, mothers, Satanism, Kenneth Anger, and slash-lit.

Inspired by Naomi Klein's No Logo, Inappropriate Behaviour rejects the globalization of culture. It asserts the individual's right to live, dress and party in ways that reflect personal choices and not the commercial dictates of 'style'. It is essential reading for all women who refuse to sell their souls for a pair of Manolo Blahniks and don't want to to live on nouvelle cuisine.

Contributors include: Debbie Barham, Jessica Berens, Penny Birch, Jenny Blythe, Mikita Brottman, Lydia Lunch, Annabel Chong, Tama Janowitz.

More About the Author

I am a (recovering) artist, author, editor, designer and curator. Through my company Gates of Heck, Inc, I co-created books with Annie Sprinkle and Joe Coleman; and published books by Maurice Vellekoop, Steven Cerio, Malcolm McKesson, Charles Burns, Gary Panter, Art Spiegelman, Caryl Burtner and others. I am probably best known for my research into non-conformist sexual subcultures, but I also write about and work with artists whose work interests me.

I am currently working on a YA novel, of all things, that will have very little to do with kinks -- at least in any obvious way.

First Sentence:
Super-successful businesswomen flick their Pantene-glossy hair about and move with the times in dust-free corporate environments; petulant uber-bitches dash champagne glasses on the mirror-polished floors of their super-lux apartments then drive off in top of the range coupes; self-satisfied broadsheet readers witter schadenfreude at dinner parties. Read the first page
