Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Rid of Me joins Music From Big Pink by John Niven and Meat is Murder by Joe Pernice as one of three fictional titles in the 33 1/3 Series, and tells the story of Kathleen and Mary, two women who find themselves alone in a house in the middle of the dark, forbidden forest that borders their depressed valley town. Amidst a dramatic natural setting, they negotiate their freedom, their pasts, their survival, and each other. Rid of Me is a story of escape and desire, violence and gender, landscape, family, and memory. It's a twisted fairy tale, a queer dystopia/utopia, and a lyrical exploration of kidnapping, dreams, murder, sex, revenge, and love.Kate Schatz's Rid of Me is at once a wholly original work of fiction and an innovative meditation on one writer's relationship to an album. The album in question is PJ Harvey's 1993 recording Rid of Me, a release noted again and again for its raw sound, dark lyrics, and unabashed presentation of female sexuality, desire, and rage. In her prologue, Schatz states that the book is "not about Rid of Me, but because of it" and the book's 14 chapters (one for each song on the album) use the lyrics, moods, images, and characters to create something entirely different, yet intimately connected to the music. This book takes Polly Jean at her word. Kate Schatz puts together a collection of stories that is weird, dark, and seductive in its portrayals of women, kidnapping, love, sex, isolation and power. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9780826427786
Descripción paperback. Condición: New. 1st. ReviewKate Schatz's "Rid of Me" is less about a particular album than it is about what happens to an album when you listen to it repeatedly-the way it evolves and transforms and ends up plugging into all the right circuits in your brain. In the end, overlaid with all your own fears and desires the album becomes the basis for a new world, stories swelling out of it like ghosts. Schatz's "Rid of Me" is the uncanny double of P.J. Harvey's album: it both offers all the mystery and beauty that fiction at its best can offer and illustrates better than anything else I know the private process of making an album genuinely your own.- Brian Evenson, Director of the Literary Arts Program at Brown University and author of six books of fiction, most recently The Wavering Knife (which won the IHG Award for best story collection)All the writers I know, at least the cool ones, fantasize being rock stars. Kate Schatz' debut book is the next best thing - a writer turning her engagement with a great album into flesh and blood characters, creepy-sexy plot turns and howling guitar, um, verbal solos. I wish I'd thought of it first.-Rebecca Brown, author of THE TERRIBLE GIRLS."I'd like to slip this between a few books that I read over and over again: The Lesbian Body by Monique Wittig, Spanking the Maid by Robert Coover, and By Grand Central Station I Sat Down and Wept by Elizabeth Smart. This is a journey, a song, a symphony, a love poem, a cry, a whisper, a nightmare, and, in such an unexpected and joyous way - a sustained arousal. It is at once about torture and love, bondage and caresses, empowerment and submission, femininity and tomboys, entrapment and escape, kidnapping and running away, death and ecstasy. With cruel and luscious women who are teachers, nurses, children, campers, and lovers, we are stripped of our senses and then filled up again with a new way of seeing, reading, sexing, feeling, tasting and loving."-Erin Cressida Wilson, Spirit-Award winning screenwriter of Secretary and FurA sexy, earnest tale about two young women searching for the end of the forest, for freedom, for a way to escape their violent and strangling pasts. Rid of Me conjures Anais Nin, Angela Carter, fairy tales, horror movies, punk melodrama, as well as PJ Harvey. It's a fast, fun fall through thin air.-Micah Perks, author of Pagan Time and We Are Gathered HereThe best musical covers occur when some kind of alchemy takes place.What starts out as an act of homage or repetition turns into revelationas the new version throws light on, say, the lyrical subtext orrhythmic potential that seem to have been hidden within the original.Kate Schatz magics a similar sort of transformation in her fictionalcover - revolving around two outlaw-lovers, Mary and Kathleen - of PJHarvey's 1993 album Rid of Me.-San Francisco Bay Guardian"Rid of Me takes its cue from PJ Harvey's album of the same titleand appropriately veers away from its surface toward an unusual and fictiveadventure into the irreverently dark psychology(ies) that made the albumpopular in the first place."- Kate Morris, FeministReview, June 27, 2007 (Feminist Review)"The idea that we all experience an album differently, that we each create our own version of the album through listening, is a driving force behind the book.[Schatz] shines a lingth on one of the most inspiring aspects of music: how open-ended something as limited as a four-minute pop song truly is. And as she offers her own interpretation of Rid of Me, she also gives us a new interpretation of what it means to write "a book about an album."-www.erasingclouds.com"In this book, there is no distinction between music, fiction, books andalbums. The ambiguity and lyricism - with threads and fragments fromHarvey's lyrics scattered throughout - compel you to read chaptersover and over. They take you like a song on repeat, rubbing you until youbleed."-Karrie Higgins, The Los Angeles Times"[Schatz] recreates the album's weird push-. Nº de ref. del artículo: BKZN9780826427786
