Shock Treatment

Shock Treatment includes Karen Finley's most provocative and acclaimed performance monologues, essays, and poems, with "The Constant State of Desire," "We Keep Our Victims Ready," "It's Only Art," and "The Black Sheep." Excoriating misogyny, homophobia, abusive families, greed, and state coercion of bodies and minds, Finley holds out hope for a world informed not by hate and fear, but by truth and unconditional love.
