Walking through Clear Water in a Pool Painted Black - Collected Stories (Broché)

Legendary as an underground actress, female adventurer, and East Village raconteur, Cookie Mueller's first calling was to the written word : "I started writing when I was six and have never stopped completely," she once confessed. Mueller's 1990 anthology Walking through Clear Water in a Pool Painted Black was the largest collection of stories she compiled during her life. But it presented only a slice of Mueller's prolific work as a writer.
This new, landmark volume collects all of Mueller's stories : the original contents of Clear Water, additional stories discovered by Amy Scholder for the posthumous anthology Ask Dr. Mueller, selections from Mueller's art and advice columns for Details and the East Village Eye, and still "new" stories collected and published here for the first time.
