Fiction. Women's Studies. Re-printed by Dalkey Archive Press. Devoted to the pains and pleasures of being female, the Museum of the Revolution--with exhibits such as "The Menstrual Show" (performed in redface), "The Hard-to-Please Momma," and "The Litany of Clothes"--is under siege. The City Fathers, frightened by its continual expansion, are out to destroy it once and for all. But the City Fathers haven't reckoned with the residents of Heartbreak Hotel..."Bold and bawdy in its humor, penetrating in its insight, this novel deserves to be a feminist classic. Any woman can find herself--and the vision of the self she'd like to be--residing at Heartbreak Hotel"--Ms.. "Gabrielle Burton's fantastic novel gives us a glimpse of a future that is as far away as last week's phone call from your mother...You'll gasp in recognition--and laugh and laugh"--Gloria Steinem. Winner of the Maxwell Perkins Prize.
