Reading Frenzy ~ An Independent Press Emporium

Lessons in Taxidermy

By Bee Lavender

160pgs, digest, perfect bound

Diagnosed with cancer at age twelve and perilously pregnant at eighteen, surviving surgeries and violent accidents: sometimes you can't believe Bee Lavender is still alive, and sometimes you think nothing could kill her. This is her fierce and expressive search for truth and an elusive sense of safety. The autobiographical tale is stark and resolved, but strangely euphoric, a frantic, delicate, and often transcendentally funny account of anguish and confusion, pain and poverty, isolation and illusion. "Bee Lavender is a fantastic writer. Her work is deep and personal and I don't think there are any places she's scared to go." -Michelle Tea. "Stunning." -Bitch magazine.
