30 year old... Information

It's deep n
dark n blue
This little collection is based on
the times Cathe spent living on the streets of NYC, and on meds,
and all of the other cheerful events. Probably one of the best written
of the spoken shows, this work reveals wit, dark humor, and a bite
into the weirdness she is best known for.
Letters to
Henry
Okay, you've done it. I've done it.
Hell, Madonna always does it. It's hero worship. sort of... these
are a collection of letters sent to Henry Rollins. They could have
been sent to (INSERT YOUR FAVORITE CELEBRITY NAME), but who has
that address???? Anyhow. Mildly erotic in a neurotic kind of way,
this book also has "SATURDAY", the most requested of Cathe's readings.
Diary of a
Ninth Grader
This is actual materials taken from
school papers, diaries, and notebooks written in the late 70's and
early '80's. It's a great way to close a generation gap. Surprisingly,
it seems that there is a quite adult revelation in the piece that
describes a kidnapping which occured while she was 15.
Talking
to the Folks Book One
This is the first of three books that
were written as a compilation of spoken works that include Saturday.
Male, Genus is opening piece.
Talking
to the Folks Compilation Books 2 and 3
The second and third of the spoken
work compilation includes a very detailed description of her trek
across country.
Been
to Bed with the Battery Boys
Battery Boys is one of the more uneven
books. It was the first spoken show after the Earthquake in L. A.
in 1994. There are some good pieces, despite the inconsistency.
opening
caskets
This was written during a very deep
depression in 1994. Not a funny story, but has some very endearing
moments.
20/20 Amour
Heindzeidt
This is the author's personal favorite.
It is humorous, horny, and pretty irreverent. There is not much
that would interest a self righteous, homogenous, religious zealot,
dickhead who can't handle a few choice descriptions of sexual innuendo.
But for everyone else, it is a great example of what CB does on
the road tours.
