Anya spent school years in affluent Connecticut and summers in the holler. Shaped by the experience, she would go on to win a scholarship to Yale and become an acclaimed artist, using provocative performances to explore the contradictions and unanswered questions of her life. But when the world Anya was building for herself shattered, she was forced to reconcile where she'd come from with who she was and who she wanted to be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eHoller Rat\u003c\/em\u003e, Liftig masterfully interweaves family lore from her Appalachian childhood with her performance art pieces and scenes of the yearlong period in which her life fell apart, and plumbs the cathartic self-reckoning that followed. She takes us from her Mamaw's porch to Yale; from the site of a violent family land feud to a pre-gentrified Bushwick loft; and from a devastating childhood leg injury to having 243 raw eggs pelted at her in the name of art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn visceral, beautiful prose that ranges from raunchy and outrageous to sobering and tragic, \u003cem\u003eHoller Rat\u003c\/em\u003e is the origin story of an unconventional artistic life and a captivating account of the stumbling blocks, sacrifices, and discoveries along the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843936669932,"sku":"9781419763007","price":49.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/13397603482693.jpg?v=1758821131"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/anya-liftig.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
