There's a reason she was known as Gina "I'm Writing as Bad asI Can" Arnold. While she makes some valid points ("Indie rock guys are sexist!!" ), most of the book reads like Greil Marcus lite., or a grad student's rhetoric paper. There are lots of quotes from obscure Marxist scholars, and references to "the Gaze" (a sure sign someone doesn't know what the fuck he or she is talking about). "Exile in Guyville" starts with a long winded story about coffee shops in Seoul, degenaerates into the aforementioned dissertation, and almost recovers in the last 30 pages of the book, when she finally analyzes the record. As an extra bonus, Ms . Arnold misuses the word "literally" twice. Literally. Vies with John Darnielle's "Master of Reality" as the worst book in the 33 1/3 series.

Although Exile in Guyville was celebrated as one of the year's top records by Spin and the New York Times, it was also, to some, an abomination: a mockery of the Rolling Stones' most revered record and a rare glimpse into the psyche of a shrewd, independent, strong young woman. For these crimes, Liz Phair was run out of her hometown of Chicago, enduring a flame war perpetrated by writers who accused her of being boring, inauthentic, and even a poor musician. With Exile in Guyville, Phair spoke for all the girls who loved the world of indie rock but felt deeply unwelcome there. Like all great works of art, Exile was a harbinger of the shape of things to come: Phair may have undermined the male ego, but she also unleashed a new female one. For the sake of all the female artists who have benefited from her work-from Sleater-Kinney to Lana Del Rey and back again-it's high time we go back to Guyville.
