Christen Clifford is a true American avant-gardist, a woman of candour and wit. Hailing from the grey working-class city of Buffalo in upstate New York, she arrived in New York City in the late 1980s in order to study acting at NYU. She had both beauty and brains, was fearless, and ready to think. As an actress she ventured and broke boundaries, choosing work revolving around feminism, politics and sexuality. The honesty of Christen Clifford’s sharply honed prose has proven amazing, and in Baby Love she writes with loving boldness. With her intelligence welded to a rock-n-roll attitude, she moves seamlessly between the realms of theatre, literature and performance art.
