The wraps are in near fine condition. 7 x 4 ½, 151 pages, 10 ounces XX [Portions of Review from THE NATION] Though Mueller is perhaps best known for starring in the early films of John Waters - and especially the infamous sex scene in Pink Flamingos involving a ménage à trois with a chicken - the publication of her collected stories and articles, Walking Through Clear Water in a Pool Painted Black, is sure to bring her writing to the fore. Mueller's pieces are incredibly short - she once likened her stories to novels for people with attention-deficit disorder - and so the book is a wonderful companion for the bedside of a debauched insomniac. Although the collection includes some fables and advice columns, much of what is in Walking Through Clear Water reads rather like diary entries, starting when Mueller was 15. Unlike most teen girls' diaries, however, what the young Mueller wrote is often hilarious on purpose and actually interesting to read. In one entry, written in 1967, when she was 19 and living in Haight-Ashbury (in a house with 11 other people, across from Janis Joplin's place), Mueller was woken up by an earthquake. She left the house and soon met the Manson Family on a San Francisco sidewalk, who invited her to join them on a road trip to Los Angeles, but declined because she thought they looked like suburban poseurs. "These people," she wrote of the Manson girls, 'were weaned into peace and free love straight from their parents' Wonderbread and Cheese Doodles so they were disgustingly enthusiastic." She then encountered a woman bragging about having slept with Jimi Hendrix the night before: It seemed silly, Mueller wrote. I'd fucked him the night before she had. When she returned home, she stumbled upon a capping party in the living room, where she and her housemates took turns measuring out hits of acid into gelatin capsules for the dealer they lived with, until they started tripping too hard as the LSD leaked onto their fingers. Mueller recalls this time as if it were just a lark. And because the collection has been arranged chronologically (from her teenage years in the late '60s to her death in 1989), it is only once you reach the end that she writes openly about how her stint in San Francisco landed her in a mental institution in '69, where she received electroshock therapy. This was not an intended part of her treatment plan: She waited on the wrong line for her pills and ended up in the electroshock room, but in the end she found the experience rather pleasant, and it had the added benefit of wiping her memory of all the stupid literature she'd ever read.
