Josie Gallows | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

A Greasy Wind is Josie Gallows's 2015 print debut. It collects 46 entries of Free Verse. This is cock-on-the-table writing from the perspective of a trans-woman in her early thirties, a member of the Church of Satan, internationally known occult dissident, sex slave, and middle management goon-thug. She takes you through the network of shanty towns and city streets that make up life for real life aliens. From Arkansas squalor to the creeps of Florida, from New York subways to Arizona oases, A Greasy Wind is the existential crisis of Americana. As the rest of the freaks and queers clamor for widespread acceptance A Greasy Wind shows us there are still those who don't want to be "just like you." Reader reviews: "Vague symbolism is avoided in favor of swapping spit." "It's tragic, angry, yet victorious." "Snappy, witty, full of Josie's apparent biting sensibilities and on-the-ball perspective on life, as brutal and unforgiving as it gets."
