What We Said

Cookie Mueller was a very interesting person who lived a life that we wanted to experience vicariously by reading her stories. She sounded wild and like a risk-taker that we wanted to know more about. While her stories are easily readable and her style is very down-to-earth. She makes no apologies and maintains an insightful eloquence about her mistakes and triumphs. Our group just did not connect somehow. After reading about her adventures we were still wondering if there was a point to all of it. It might be an interesting read for those who have had similar experiences, but it left us with little to discuss.

About Cookie Mueller

Cookie Mueller died of AIDS in New York City on November 10, 1989, seven weeks after her husband died of the same cause. Her ashes are interred on the beach near Provincetown; in the flowerbed of the Church of St. Luke in the Fields in Greenwich Village; alongside those of Vittorio and Beauty in the Scarpati family crypt in Sorrento; under the statue of Christ the Redeemer atop Corcovado in Rio de Janeiro; in the South Bronx; and in the Holy Waters of the Ganges.


Selected Works by Cookie Mueller

From the Publisher

"Ask Dr. Mueller" captures the glamour and grittiness of Cookie Mueller's life and times. Here are previously unpublished stories—wacky as they are enlightening—along with favorites from "Walking Through Clear Water in a Pool Painted Black" and other publications. Also, the best of Cookie's art columns from "Details" magazine, and the funniest of her advice columns from the East Village Eye, on everything from homeopathic medicine to how to cut your cocaine with a healthy substance. This collection is as much autobiography as it is a map of downtown New York in the early '80s—that moment before "Bright Lights, Big City," before the art world exploded, before New York changed into a yuppie metropolis, while it still had a glimmer of bohemian life.
