Judging The Book By Its Cover

NEW IN STORE! Kristin Hersh's memoir RAT GIRL captures one pivotal year in the author's life: it's 1985 and 18-year-old Hersh is confronted with the rising success of her punk band, a recent diagnosis of bipolar disorder and a surprise pregnancy. This "uncommonly touching punk memoir" (New York Times) is getting great reviews but what gets me is the cover art by Gilbert Hernandez, 80's punk girl perfection.
