Edgewise: A Picture Of Cookie Mueller

Sometimes the personalities talking about a public figure can be as fascinating as the subject. It’s that way with Edgewise: A Picture Of Cookie Mueller ($24.95, Bbooks Verlag). As well as performing in John Waters’s movies, Mueller, who died in 1989, was a writer, critic and influential presence on New York’s art scene. Waters, Gary Indiana and Linda Yablonsky are among the interviewees who discuss the queer icon in a book that includes photos by Robert Mapplethorpe and covers Baltimore’s 60s artist communes, Provincetown in the 70s and 80s Berlin. Editor Chloé Griffin reads and is interviewed by Damian Rogers Thursday (October 2) at Clint Roenisch Gallery. See book listings.
