Tales of a late, great It Girl: Cookie Mueller's stories live on in a new reissue 'Walking Through Clear Water in a Pool Painted Black' collects the near-complete work of John Waters darling Cookie Mueller, who died at 40 in 1989.

#CookieMueller never got to finish her novel. She died of AIDS on Nov. 10, 1989, at 40, just three months after #Scarpati. “Walking Through Clear Water” is an important recovery of the work she did manage to get down. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...
