Phillips, Lisa

Recommended for readers interested in alternative art trends, who should also seek out New Museum founder Marcia Tucker's memoir A Short Life of Trouble: Forty Years in the New York Art World.

Phillips neither pathologizes nor minimizes the damage of female harassment and stalking; she emphasizes that the societal tendency to see female pursuit as humorous can keep male victims from receiving the support they need. Her firsthand experience and compassionate advice will be appreciated by the romantically rejected and fans of self-help books alike.
