Reviews "A fascinating strange story, an important if imperfect critique of one womans life and of the larger world: Drawing Blood is an honest effort gorgeously rendered. This book and its author are not perfect. Who is? I finished this book feeling like Id made a friend, something only possible with human beings, not saints. The Molly Crabapple I felt like I came to know off these pages is vulnerable, self-doubting, loyal and loving, smart and stylish.

Her narrative is well-crafted, expertly told, and completely compelling. -- Seattle Times Book Review The book reads like a notebook of New York, a cultural history of a certain set. Filtered through her eyes, we see 9/11, the aftermath of the crash, Occupy Wall Street, Hurricane Sandy and onward... [Crabapple is] a new model for this centurys young woman. -- New York Times Book Review Celebrated New York journalist Crabapple is also one of Americas best, most original artists.
