The Quietus interviews my favorite musician:
Petra Davis: You're about to publish a book of your diaries, is that right? Paradoxical Undressing, or Rat Girl – which one is the UK title again?
Kristin Hersh: The long one, because you guys know how to talk. The spoken word show, before I had the book deal, was called Paradoxical Undressing. But apparently that's not immediate enough for Americans, so in the US it's called Rat Girl. And it's a very appropriate title.
