DESCRIPTION:25 years ago, Karen Finley gained international notoriety when Jesse Helms 
 and other conservatives in the Senate vehemently denied her an NEA grant 
 because they thought her art was obscene.  At the same time, City Lights 
 published Finley’s landmark book Shock Treatment, which includes those 
 seminal works, excoriating homophobia and misogyny at a time when many 
 artists and writers were under attack for challenging the status 
 quo.\n\nThis month, City Lights publishes a twenty-fifth anniversary 
 expanded edition of Shock Treatment, featuring a new introduction in which 
 Finley reflects on that time, tracing her journey from the midwest, to the 
 San Francisco Art Institute, to burlesque gigs, and on to the San Francisco 
 North Beach literary scene.\n\n*Finley is available for interview.  We can 
 expedite a copy of the book immediately.  High res images of the book cover 
 and author are available upon request.\n\n\n
