Customer Reviews

Nothing typical about this book!

This obviously isn't your typical book of short stories by hip women. Typical Girls has short stories written by Guinevere Turner (actress in Go Fish), Poppy Z. Brite (the goth girl's Anne Rice), and Kristin Hirsh (former Throwing Muses singer). So get ready for stories with a rock-n-roll feminist touch.(...)

a great sampler of new talent

Corrigan has chosen a great selection of funky, post-punk rock writing. I especially loved the alt rock metaphor from Kristen Hersch and Emily Perkins woeful tale of weight problems and friendlessness. A ripping good read - perfect for a bus journey to a new city.
