Holy Skirts, Batman!

Why did NO ONE TELL ME about René Steinke's 2005 novel, Holy Skirts?

Would I like to read a book about Dada queen, the Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven?


Who hung out with Duchamp and made phallic sculptures out of plumbing?


Who wore crazy outfits and recited poems in beer halls?


YES. Yes, I very much would.

God, I hope this is as good as it sounds.
