One day Janey Smith finds a pencil stub and scrap of paper in a forgotten corner of the locked room she lives in. Chronicling her experiences through this quasi journal, Janey tells of the Persian slave trader who comes in twice a day, teaching her to be a whore, her father, who is also her boyfriend, rejecting and leaving her after falling in love with another woman and the thieves who kidnapped her and sold her into prostitution. Blood & Guts in High School is a brilliantly subversive and deeply disturbing narrative by experimental feminist writer Kathy Acker.
