FEVERISH ~ PROVOCATIVE ~ INTIMATE
A neon-lit portrait of danger and desire, unravelling and reinvention.
Jesse is a twenty-nine-year-old adrift in San Francisco's demi-monde of sexually ambiguous, drug-taking outsiders, desperately trying to sustain a connection with her bisexual boyfriend. She becomes caretaker and confidante to Madame Pig, a grotesque, besotted recluse, and meets Madison - Pig's daughter or lover or both - who leads Jesse into a world beyond all boundaries.
Suicide Blonde an intensely erotic, intoxicating story of one young woman's sexual and psychological odyssey.
Like so many naturals with a singular vision and an unyielding gift, Steinke wrote a perfect book nearly right out of the gate, one which both emanates from its time and will last the test of time -- MAGGIE NELSON
