Many years ago I discovered a free-spirited little girl they called Witch Baby who rides her cowboy boot roller skates around the farmers’ markets of Los Angeles buying toy tomahawks and jacaranda flowers. I discoverd the novels of a fantastically talented woman named Francesca Lia Block.
First I read Girl Goddess #9, then the Dangerous Angels series…
Girls with blue elves in their closets, girls with two mothers, girls loving rock stars, girls finding their voices for the first time. Zingingly bright and dreamily
Girls with blue elves in their closets, girls with two mothers, girls loving rock stars, girls finding their voices for the first time. Zingingly bright and dreamily dark, full of wonder and gritty reality, these stories show the reader that in every girl there truly is a goddess.
A novella and short stories about love, sex, death, disaster and transcendence in Los Angeles. The book that started it all follows the adventures of the bleached blonde punk pixie and her friends Dirk, Duck and My Secret Agent Lover Man, as they discover the power of love to overcome fear.
