Even before the "autobiography" appeared to a string of rave reviews, expectations for Me Cheeta, had been primed when it was longlisted for the Guardian First Book Award.

My favorite treat was a bar of Rolos with a cup of black coffee. Favorite dish? Beef with Chinese bitter melon and black bean sauce. Call me precocious, but the real term for me is “nontaster.”As a nontaster...
...black hair, was long-waisted and slender, what we all wanted to look like,” Lacy J. Dalton, a self-described “hard-luck” chanteuse and former fellow West Villager, has said. She could certainly sing and strum the banjo (and a 12-string Gibson guitar to boot), but Karen Dalton didn’t pen a single track on either of the two albums she managed to record in her lifetime.
