Holly Hughes is one of the most popular and controversial out-there-and-in-your-face writer-performers around, and in this collection of some of her greatest hits she describes her career as an “escape” artist: how she escaped her conservative upbringing in a part of the country “where silence was the first language” to become an award-winning performance artist and playwright as well as a central figure in America’s culture wars. As the Los Angeles Times observed, “Holly Hughes is everything you always wanted in a lesbian performance artist–and less.”

From the Back Cover
Holly Hughes is one of the most popular and controversial out-there-and-in-your-face writer-performers around, and in this collection of some of her greatest hits she describes her career as an "escape" artist: how she escaped her conservative upbringing in a part of the country "where silence was the first language" to become an Obie award-winning performance artist and playwright as well as a central figure in America's culture wars.
Reviews
Known to most readers as one of the central figures of recent NEA grant controversy, Obie Award winner Holly Hughes has collected her performance texts in this volume. Her early pieces, such as The Well of Horniness, were originally aimed at the small audiences of the WOW Cafe, an experimental lesbian theater that was poorly funded but open to new ideas back in 1983. Witty, sarcastic, and a little bit bitter, the author gave women the opportunity to be silly away from the male gaze. It is doubtful that these plays will appeal to everyone, but they share some creative traits also found in the writings of Alfred Jarry and William Burroughs. Other lesbian writers will probably be more enduring, but few are as popular at the moment. Good for large collections with a strong emphasis on gay/lesbian studies or contemporary art.?Susan Olcott, Columbus Metropolitan Lib., Ohio
