Sister Safety Pin was a messy saga following Melanie, a love sick, adolescent who jumps from an assortment of doomed lesbian relationships. The authors attempts to create at hip, and edgy tone for the book by referencing artists like The Clash, The Pretenders etc. However, the book becomes a big advertisement for punk rock music, a sort literary MTV. The author's constant plugs for different punk songs and albums were very distracting.
In this irreverently funny yet profound novel, Amanda risks deportation, recalls the fervor of AIDS activism in the US, connects to the class struggle of punk, and finds redemption in love. But she also must confront her own mental illness, her lover's rape, and the violence of post-9/11 politics. Pissing in a River captures the glee and turbulence of surviving the cacophony of modern life. Lorrie Sprecher’s Pissing in a River is testament to the fact that women are not hidden from the world, we’re IN it. And sometimes we make noise about that.
