"[Live Through This] posits a hopeful message: that while the quirks and sensitivities of a creative mind often seem predisposed to depression, they are also the exact qualities that provide a special set of tools with which to find a way through the darkest moments."
BUST MAGAZINE Review by Emma Hamilton

"We know the story of the brilliant woman who destroys herself.
The woman artist who is. . . “Controversial while alive but sanctified in death.” In this powerful and unique collection edited by Sabrina Chapadjiev, we hear from nineteen writers, artists and thinkers who are alive and well—and indeed, often controversial. . ."

GO MAGAZINE Review by Joseph Keckler

"This powerful collection of voices provides new insight into the concept of self-destruction and, perhaps more importantly, offers hope to everyone who has felt these forces."
AFTERELLEN.COM by Heather A O'Neill

"Sabrina Chapadjiev’s anthology, Live Through This: On Creativity and Self Destruction, strikes me in all ways as a carefully crafted object—which so few books are these days."
FEMINISTING.COM review by-Courtney Martin, author of "Perfect Girls, Starving Daughters"

"A kinda groundbreaking book…an interesting read…brings sexuality into the larger context of mental health, general well being and happiness in life."
Audacia Ray on "Live Girl Review"

"Many speak of making art as a way to inscribe their pain on something other than their bodies; art becomes solace, coping mechanism and path to redemption. . inspiration, ultimately, is what this visceral book is about."
BAY WINDOWS review by Brian Jewell

"Live Through This is a collection of 19 essays by women artists who have walked across the hot coals of their own self-destructiveness. They are confessionals, cautionary tales, but mostly, I think, they are messages of sisterhood to those of us out there who struggle."
NeoVox Review
by Lorraine Berry

"Live Through This: On Creativity and Self-Destruction, a collection of essays by talented badasses, punks and radicals like Nan Goldin, Kate Bornstein, Carol Queen, Eileen Myles and bell hooks, takes up the powerful, complicated question of the connections and correlations between art-making, femaleness and personal darkness."
