HORROR STORIES - LIZ PHAIR KARTONIERT (TB)

The two-time Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter behind the groundbreaking album Exile in
Guyville traces her life and career in a genre-bending memoir in stories about the pivotal
moments that haunt her. Honest  original and absolutely remarkable. NPR (Best Books of the
Year) When Liz Phair shook things up with her musical debut  Exile in Guyville making her as
much a cultural figure as a feminist pioneer and rock star her raw candor  uncompromising
authenticity  and deft storytelling inspired a legion of critics  songwriters  musicians  and
fans alike. Now  like a Gen X Patti Smith  Liz Phair reflects on the path she has taken in
these piercing essays that reveal the indelible memories that have stayed with her. For Phair 
horror is in the eye of the beholder in the often unrecognized universal experiences of daily
pain  guilt  and fear that make up our humanity. Illuminating despair with hope and consolation
tempering it all with her signature wit  Horror Stories is immersive  taking readers inside the
most intimate junctures of Phair s life  from facing her own bad behavior and the repercussions
of betraying her fundamental values  to watching her beloved grandmother inevitably fade  to
undergoing the beauty of childbirth while being hit up for an autograph by the
anesthesiologist. Horror Stories is a literary accomplishment that reads like the confessions
of a friend. It gathers up all of our isolated shames and draws them out into the light 
uniting us in our shared imperfection  our uncertainty and our cowardice  smashing the stigma
of not being in control. But most importantly  the uncompromising precision and candor of
Horror Stories transforms these deeply personal experiences into tales about each and every one
of us.
