Confessions of a Third-Rate Goddess: Traipsing through a World Gone Weird
By Kathy Biehl

About this ebook
At the end of the 20th century, while television shows and mainstream movies popularized an expensively dressed version of modern adult life, a rawer, and definitely weirder, reality was playing out off-screen. Columnist and zine pioneer Kathy Biehl chronicled that from a singular and heavily trafficked intersection — collision point, some might say — of young professionals, performing and outsider artists, Unitarians, gays and lesbians, metaphysicians, traveling statues, and beings that defied categorizing.
This essay collection snapshots their sexual tension, ambivalence, and confusion, along with perils of fan mail and professional caroling; celebrities (real and impersonators), snooping repairmen, and divine manifestations; ludicrous journeys, backstage dramas, and driveway parties; close-ups with a strange, frightening disease; her own, accidental attainment of goddesshood; and other mystery-marvels of life on the bridge to the millennium.
