Told through diary entries Blood and Guts in High School recounts the story of Janey Smith as she describes the recent events in her life such as becoming a prostitute after her father who was also her lover rejects her for another women.
Considered experimental fiction because of its narrative style using conversation, description, conjecture, and moments snatched from history and literature to convey the emotions and story.
The novel is in your face with a very punk feminist feel which gets in enhanced by the writing style and the subversive topics covered in the book.
While the book has a liberating teenage protaganist it also graphic and should not be read by younger audiences.
