RFT Alum Highlighted in New Book

Was recently gifted (thank you very much!) a new book called "Notes from the Underground: The Most Outrageous Stories from the Alternative Press," a collection of stories from U.S. alt-weeklies. Of primary interest to St. Louisans is a piece from the Riverfront Times, selected by editor Nancy Armstrong for the 20-story compilation. Written by former RFT Geri L. Dreiling is the article "When Girls Go Wild," subititled: "They're angry. They're violent. And they have juvenile justic folks stumped." It originally ran April 9, 2003.

The book, published by Chamberlain Bros., features a lead by Steve Almond, author of "Canyfreak," and highlights stories by notable writers such as Greg Tate and Dan Savage.
