Sex, violence, drugs, boredom and the uglier edges of American life remain, but on the page they become blunt, fragmentary texts — somewhere between lyric, confession and provocation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe design is equally direct. Iggy appears pale and confrontational on the cover beneath oversized hand-painted lettering, interrupted by a pink LETRAS panel. The back is an almost lurid purple, with a short Spanish text positioning the album within the long afterlife of the Stooges and Pop's solo career.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeither conventional music book nor simple lyric sheet, it belongs to a more particular category of 1990s publishing: the inexpensive album-related paperback that becomes, with time, a piece of printed ephemera in its own right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA small, strange and very good-looking object from the \u003cem\u003eAmerican Caesar\u003c\/em\u003e period.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTranslations by Ivan Giesen and Alberto Manzano.
