DIRTY MONEY AND OTHER STORIES

Ayn Imperato

[Literature - Punk]

In more than 50 brilliantly humorous, often poignant short stories and vignettes, Ayn Imperato closely observes the contemporary urban life of a spirited punk rock writer in search of love, fun, and gainful employment. Along the way, she works at a Goth store “where lots of morbid kids in black wearing pointy buckle boots trudge in lamenting about life in the dreary suburbs and then spend what was a week’s worth of pay for me on a bunch of rubber eyeballs, bat wall hangings, and cheap Ankh jewelry” (Mr Janglin’ Bones and the Brain); posing for soft porn photographs while covered in mud (Dirty Money) and as a movie extra playing a refugee in Hell (Dirtier Money) among other attemps at making a living.
