With savage humour, Death Confetti features performance artist Jennifer Robin's autobiographical sketches of Portland, Oregon, from the grunge-era obscurity of the '90s to its current media-darling status. In a city that's stranger than fiction, grocery-store till workers and meth-heads loom as lost gods. We're introduced to lady tweakers and execs who simulate doggie-style sex acts on the dance floor. Then there's all the tales of late-night life on the city's buses and light rail. Death Confetti jolts the senses and lingers like a mosquito bite.
Jennifer Robin lives in Portland, Oregon. She writes grotesque prose about the Zonked Checker and The Crack Whore Morton Salt Girl. Her novel, Bouzi, was published in 1999.
