Praise for Pissing In a River

"Lorrie Sprecher's Pissing In a River is testament to the fact that women are not hidden from the world, we're IN it. And sometimes we make noise about that."—KRISTIN HERSH, lead singer of Throwing Muses and author of Rat Girl

"Beautiful and honest, Pissing In a River chronicles the lives of queer activists: their art, their downfalls, and their epic love stories."—CRISTY C. ROAD, author of Spit and Passion and Bad Habits: A Love Story

"Pissing In a River is a love letter to the obsessions that captivated an outcast generation: punk, politics, passion, and provocation. Sprecher's smart and fiercely emphatic characters evoke the beauty of the chosen family, the shelter from solitude in which they revel together, and the art that keeps them alive."—MARIA RAHA, author of Cinderella's Big Score: Women of the Punk and Indie Underground
