Publisher's Synopsis
For nearly twenty years, the events behind the Strasbourg hotel's closure have remained a mystery known only by the few who frequent the back alleys of Hollywood Boulevard. There are whispers there, of girls in glass boxes, legendary art installations wiped from the record, after one of the performers was found dead in her box. The Box Girls are a myth or a memory that only few can recall, until now. From the detritus, a transcript emerges and, with it, an intimate narrative, the definitive record of what really happened that summer to the Box Girls of the Strasbourg hotel. Over one hundred and twenty-eight interviews, and hundreds of hours of recordings, a frenzied tapestry of voices reveals answers to the mystery few knew existed, and explores visibility, identity, and the boundaries of perception in a world teetering on the brink of collapse.
