"One of the 25 Greatest Rock Memoirs of All Time” --Rolling Stone Magazine (#8)

“Sensitive and emotionally raw… it’s also wildly funny”--The New York Times Book Review

A powerfully original memoir of pregnancy and mental illness by the legendary founder of the seminal rock band Throwing Muses, 'a magnificently charged union of Sylvia Plath and Patti Smith' - The Guardian

Kristin Hersh was a preternaturally bright teenager, starting college at fifteen and with her band, Throwing Muses, playing rock clubs she was too young to frequent. By the age of seventeen she was living in her car, unable to sleep for the torment of strange songs swimming around her head - the songs for which she is now known. But just as her band was taking off, Hersh was misdiagnosed with schizophrenia.

Rat Girl chronicles the unraveling of a young woman's personality, culminating in a suicide attempt; and then her arduous yet inspiring recovery, her unplanned pregnancy at the age of 19, and the birth of her first son. Playful, vivid, and wonderfully warm, this is a visceral and brave memoir by a truly original performer, told in a truly original voice.

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Hersh, who founded the band the Throwing Muses in the 1980s, explores the mysterious, volatile nature of both creativity and mental balance in this flinty, dreamlike memoir of her precocious, unconventional teens. As her band gains recognition, Hersh is diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and with riveting prose, she describes episodes of burning energy in which music comes in both sound and color and demands to be written: “My job, as it turns out, is only to shut up and listen.” Prescription drugs mute the process, but after she becomes pregnant and chooses to have the child, Hersh tries life without meds. Song lyrics and diary entries mix with Hersh’s memories, which read more like poetic, sometimes satiric impressions rather than traditional autobiography. Whether she is describing her childhood with hippie parents (Dude and Crane), her wildly diverse friends (including Betty, an aging, self-proclaimed former Hollywood star), or childbirth classes with grimly competitive yuppies, Hersh presents a refreshingly raw, insightful, and singular coming-of-age story. --Gillian Engberg

Review

One of the 25 Greatest Rock Memoirs of All Time -- Rolling Stone(#8)

“Sensitive and emotionally raw… it is also wildly funny.” – Rob Sheffield, New York Times Book Review

"Compelling...Hersh describes eloquently, beautifully and with no small amount of poetry the pain and alienation of losing one's mind." -- The Times (London)

“Funny, freaky, fidgety, Hersh's memoir is the book a fan didn't dare hope for: a beacon in a dark field, illuminating the mysterious and the mundane. Beautifully, honestly, written and as close as you will ever get to being in a Throwing Muses song.” – Wesley Stace, author of Misfortune and By George

“Her narrative voice is warm, friendly and surprisingly funny. Deep down it's a story about messed-up kids finding one other, starting a band, and accidentally scrounging up an audience of similarly messed-up kids. It belongs on the shelf next to Michael Azerrad's classic Our Band Could Be Your Life.” – Rolling Stone

“Ultra-vivid writing and intense honesty is what you'd expect from Kristin Hersh, one of America's finest songwriters. But Rat Girl is also a startlingly funny and touching memoir of her mid-Eighties moment as the bi- polar, pregnant, intermittently homeless frontwoman of a rising indie-rock band. It's a gripping journey into mental chaos and out the other side.” – Simon Reynolds, author of Rip It Up and Start Again: Postpunk 1978-84

“Rat Girl is the story of a wide-eyed soul coming to maturity in the ridiculous cacophony of modern life. Although it is supposedly about what we call, for lack of a better term, 'manic depression,' it has nearly no interest in such grim diagnostic thinking. It is instead awestruck - by music, feeling, perception, wild animals, mystery, dreams, 'the gorgeous and terrible things that live in your house.' It is an original beauty.” – Mary Gaitskill, author of Veronica and Don't Cry

Powerful memoir from a memorable voice
Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2010
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This memoir is magnificent. Thank God.

When an artist you like branches out into a field that's new--an actor rapping, say, or a musician writing books, you kind of follow along with a bit of trepidation. It seems polite to be part of the audience, but quite often these divergences are more embarrassing than anything else. I love memoirs, and I have long loved Kristin Hersh. I wasn't sure they would mix.

They do.

This memoir covers Kristin's late adolescence. Throwing Muses is already a band, not yet successful, struggling to define its place just as Kristin is struggling to define her own, coming to grips with the mood disorder that shook her life. She leaves out many details, but none of the ones that matter. This is a memoir, after all (literally, mémoire, memory), and not an autobiography. This is not about the hardcore facts, but about what she perceives, remembers, prioritizes in her past. It leaves us less informed than an autobiography, but more involved. We feel a part of her daily life.

There's a fine sense of pacing here. Most of the memoir is lineal, but interspersed are small snippets of song lyrics and short passages from other times, distinguished by a different typeface. Together, they give a more complete picture of the author--the song lyrics offer another view of how she filters her experience into her art; the "flashbacks" a hint into the earlier passages of the person she is becoming. But she does not allow them to derail the primary thread of her story.

I found that story utterly engrossing. Kristin neither romanticizes nor catastrophizes her life and the challenges she faces. She delicately skirts some of the darker issues, but remains true to the emotional core. Kristin's authorial voice is as distinctive as her singing voice; her gifts as a lyricist could not guarantee her ability to sustain this form, but she does it ably.

This book should appeals to fans of either art form--memoirs, music. It doesn't matter, I don't think, whether you are already familiar with Kristin's work as a solo artist or as singer for Throwing Muses or 50 Foot Wave. It is a deeply satisfying, emotionally resonant book that should appeal whether you know her or not. I recommend.

Tip of the hat to the cover illustration by Gilbert Hernandez (Love & Rockets and others), who has previously done cover art for Throwing Muses.

"Dazzled by something I forgot"
Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2010
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
A friend of mine once pointed out to me that famous people write autobiographies. The rest of us write novels. That has always seemed to me to be true, and singer-songwriter Kristin Hersh's astonishing "Rat Girl," the story of a year in her life taken from her diary, would seem to prove my friend's point.

In her introduction, Ms. Hersh puts some distance between herself, the diary, and her readers by noting that she wrote "this _book_ based on _pages from my diary_ because copying down a year isn't a particularly creative thing to do. And it all happened twenty-five years ago, so it can't really count as a story about _me_--that girl isn't me any more. Now it's just a story."

And quite a story it is. It begins in the spring of 1985 when her band, the Throwing Muses (if you don't know of them, I can't imagine why you're reading this review), were playing bars in Lovecraftland and Ms. Hersh was 18. We meet her first in a crashpad, and are soon introduced to the other members of that amazingly creative and intelligent band, along with her friend Betty Hutton (who was herself famous long ago), her hippie father (a professor at a Catholic College in Providence), and then her gay friend Mark.

It continues on through the seasons, ending the following spring with the birth of her son (the child's father never appears in the memoir). It's funny at times (the head of the record company that signs the Muses is portrayed here as if he belongs in a Monty Python skit), suspenseful at others (a stalker appears sporadically), and parts may tug at your heart (Ms. Hersh's difficulty in keeping anything down during he first trimester; Betty Hutton's attempts to avoid being recognized, which is easier than she thinks because nobody has any idea who she is, or rather was).

Throughout, Ms. Hersh sprinkles in lyrics from the Throwing Muses years, along with some from her equally brilliant solo albums (among them "Hips and Makers," "Strange Angels," "Sky Motel," and "Sunny Border Blue"). And she sprinkles in as chapter-enders flashbacks to her childhood.

As a writer, she's quite the stylist: Her prose is in that same deadpan no-words-wasted style that imbues her song lyrics. (In my head, I imagined her reading the book aloud, in that raspy nails-on-a-blackboard voice.)

It's dazzling.

At first I was skeptical at reading a book about a teenager, but this book is turning out to be a really fun book to read. I'm a Throwing Muses fan and find the history of their beginnings as a band really interesting to read about. And I also enjoy the way she has laid the book out which is really different and cool from a lot of books. I love how the chapters are separated by short stories and not numbers and titles.

Funny, insightful, vivid, honest, frightening and full of surprises.
Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2025
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
A great read from beginning to end. It's unlike any music memoir I've read, more like a modernist novel. As narrator, she creates a memorable character--one who sees the world "though a glass, darkly". What keeps it fascinating is trying to place what she is experiencing in context: dream, hallucination, memory or reality? Every time I thought I had it figured out, something would happened that puts it all in a new light. There are many layers---it's like peeling an onion.

The format of the book is part of its charm: the narrative is interspersed with a few lines of lyrics (which comment on it, often obliquely), and flashbacks from her childhood. It works well, adding variety and giving the reader a break. Her total dedication to the music shines through. Her description of her phone calls with Ivo Watts-Russell (co-founder and head of 4AD Records and another eccentric totally dedicated to music) is priceless.

It certainly gave me new insight into Throwing Muses and her solo work. But this book isn't just for fans or musicians, there are interesting vignettes of Rhode Island, Boston, Santa Cruz CA, and a backwards peek into the golden age of Hollywood. It's a rock memoir, but though the narrator's voice, it has undergone a "sea-change, into something rich and strange."

Read it pretty quickly and loved it. Kristin is a wonderful, insightful and at times hilarious writer. It's extraordinary the amount of exccentric people that have been in her life but that makes it all the more rich and interesting. It's a book that hits of several heavy topics (mostly illness) but emerges as a moving, lovable and complex love letter to the people around her and to her experiences which are quite unique. Besides making great music, Kristin is also a great writer.

More proof that life writes the best stories

(Also issued in the UK as Paradoxical Undressing.)

You see, I've never been too much into prose. Instead, I've been devouring nonfiction ever since I was a little kid, and unfortunately I tend to apply this sort of reading style to anything, tearing through books like there's no tomorrow. I'll tell you that much, this can leave you more than just slightly dizzy after you're finished. (How I envy people who flip through books at a leisurely pace sometimes, like my mom.) I guess I'm a bit weird...

And maybe that's precisely why I was able to relate to this book and its author. Kristin Hersh comes across as an intelligent, introverted person with a good sense of humor who's quite capable of poignant writing. Now granted, this isn't /quite/ your average book, much like Throwing Muses aren't quite your average band. It eschews the idea of chapters but is loosely grouped into sections of the main story as based on her 1985/86 diary, separated by historic anecdotes from former family life. Select song lyrics are interspersed where they fit. Sure enough, there's a fair amount of "ah, so *that's* where that came from!" moments to be had for the fan. (It is recommended that you be equipped with In a Doghouse or similar.) I can't really say their music has become /that/ much less opaque to me though.

The unconventional structure did not impede readability for me - much like many TM song do retain a certain pop appeal. Things do get a little disjointed by the middle when her mental disorder really kicks in in the main storyline, but I feel that /that's the very point/. I mean, her head was a mess at the time.

Overall, this makes quite a brilliant coming of age story, not totally unlike the classic "The Catcher in the Rye" that I read at school back in the day. I wouldn't hesitate recommending this to my old English teacher for grades 12/13 or so - it's rated 18+, and that seems reasonable. If psychology is your thing, it may also be of interest. (It be noted that Ms. Hersh quite obviously is a synesthete, too.) And finally, there's any number of plain hilarious moments that make "Rat Girl" an enjoyable read even when the protagonists happen to be living under less than desirable circumstances. Reality is what you see in it, I suppose, and I'd say Kristin Hersh does pretty well in terms of observation.

"I've only written one book", said she in an interview for The Guardian, "and I didn't know how to write that."
Well, considering that, the result certainly isn't half-bad... ;)

Oh, and the book took me about 6-7 hours net for 300-odd pages, including the largest part of one night. (Is that fast or slow? No idea.) Felt pretty lousy the next day, but it was definitely worth it. Since then, I've read random bits and pieces again and still enjoyed those.
