Erika Lopez

this feels like the basis for things that erika lopez did much better in her later books. still, i am really drawn to her sense of humor and point of view.

WAHOO! Was this such a fun read. Tomato, I need more!

I love this book and have handed it out to many friends after a bad breakup.
Lopez is filthy, funny, and fabulous.
Her protagonist Tomato is all of that an more.

Part art book, part memoir, part manifesto, Erika Lopez' The Girl Must Die is an eye-opening statement. With no interest in redemption or convention, Lopez overturns traditional feminist notions of abuse, sexuality, and morality and puts forth acerbic and in-your-face arguments about race and gender. This isn't a tome full of rants, but a well-crafted intertextual experience that is as hilarious as it is confrontational.
