Hell in a Handbag

Jibz Cameron, the iconoclast performance artist behind Dynasty Handbag, reads from her debut memoir — a wild, unflinching journey from Northern California commune kid to East Bay punk zine maker to New York avant-garde provocateur. Hell in a Handbag is Cameron's candid and darkly funny reckoning with queerness, misogyny, capitalism, and the absurd tragedy of contemporary life. If you've encountered Dynasty Handbag's multimedia chaos, you know Cameron doesn't do safe or polite — expect the same unhinged genius on the page.
