"What kind of body makes a memoir?"--Cover
Yellow city -- Blueberries -- The museum of rape -- Satellite -- Allen Ginsberg -- Unwed teen mum Mary -- Holidays with men -- Your dirty phony saint and martyr -- Friendship between women -- The literature of sadness -- Turning thirty -- Houses -- Notes to unlived time -- Portrait of the writer as worker (after Dieter Lesage) -- Antimemoir, as in, fuck you (as in, fuck me)
Blueberries could be described as a collection of essays, the closest term available for a book that resists classification; a blend of personal essay, polemic, prose poetry, true-crime journalism, and confession that considers a fragmented life, reflecting on what it means to be a woman, a body, an artist. It is both a memoir and an interrogation of memoir. It is a new horizon in storytelling. In crystalline prose, Savage explores the essential questions of the examined life: what is it to desire? What is it to accommodate oneself to the world? And at what cost?
