A memoir of Melena, five times married, mother, burlesque dancer, and the hardest-assed woman to ever eat wood and bite nails.
This is the tale of Melena, five times married, mother of three, burlesque dancer, and the toughest, hardest-assed woman to ever eat wood and bite nails. Located in history and memory, the real and the imagined, her life cracks open questions of identity at the heart of an American, immigrant, woman's experience. You Animal Machine offers a glimpse of both the violence and the beauty of the margins, where outskirts make their own centers.
