An engrossing tale of a true daughter of post-war Chicago. The boho/punk art/music/lit scenes of the late 70s and 80s are here, including her time working for the notorious Wax Trax! Records on Lincoln Avenue during its early years. We also see the further story of marriage to a globally known musician and Gerda herself becoming a practicing criminal defense lawyer. One reviewer noted, "It'd be a remarkable slice of picaresque autofiction if it wasn't all true."
