Cookie Mueller Book order (chronological)

Cookie Mueller war eine vielseitige Kultfigur, die in John Waters' Filmen mitwirkte und sich als originelle Stimme der amerikanischen Literatur etablierte. Ihr Werk „Walking Through Clear Water In a Pool Painted Black“ umfasst autobiografische Texte über ihre Jugend, Begegnungen und persönliche Erlebnisse. John Waters beschreibt sie als talentierte Schriftstellerin und Göttin, die das Leben und den Tod humorvoll thematisierte.

"Legendary as an underground actress, female adventurer, and East Village raconteur, Cookie Mueller's first calling was to the written word : "I started writing when I was six and have never stopped completely," she once confessed. Mueller's 1990 'Walking through Clear Water in a Pool Painted Black' was the largest collection of stories she compiled during her life. But it presented only a slice of Mueller's prolific work as a writer. This new, landmark volume collects all of Mueller's stories : the original contents of 'Clear Water', additional stories discovered by Amy Scholder for the posthumous anthology 'Ask Dr. Mueller', selections from Mueller's art and advice columns for 'Details' and the 'East Village Eye', and still "new" stories collected and published here for the first time."--taken from back cover
