About this title

Synopsis:

Unusual book

Review:

Working class, ethnic, and not model tall, Arcade was the other New York City girl: hardworking and obscure, with a considerable chip on her shoulder, all of which she transformed into art. Her primary subject has always been herself, and the will it took to crack Manhattan's class-conscious art scene. Once installed, though, Arcade never relaxed. She continues to critique the very world that now considers her a legend.
