Licking Flames: Tales of a Half-Assed Hussy

"I'm a moth, flittering around the edges of whatever might possibly kinda maybe hurt me."

Up and down the West Coast, Diana Kirk of Portland, Ore., tosses her virtue into the wind in this series of essays about growing up and facing adulthood. Sex, drugs, and roadtrips fuel her search for real life even when her instincts, and a few high-minded characters, yell 'Whoa!' Kirk takes the low road to arrive at the high road, spinning stories of her extreme impetuousness with wit and a sassy "durdy" outlook. Traveling through gritty foreign countries and Pacific Northwest locales, her bodaciousness makes her a skilled storyteller. Take a trip with her.
