Description: New. Kathy Acker was a high-wire writer. She took risks. She experimented for the sake of it. She made mistakes. She fell. She never wanted a modest success, and so her books, all of them, swing from passages of topflight bravura, where you think, "How di... read more
"I'm on the fence about this one. I'm appreciative of all the space she opens up in terms of form/structure and not being bound by conventional expectations of narrative (plot/character); of the dialogue she's in with American Lit (Hawthorne) and the classics and contemporary lit. theory. I'm unclear whether she actually succeeds in subverting the objectification of women & sex as commodities or whether she ends up reinforcing them to the extent that every interaction in the book is sexualized. Sexual acts become as nonsensical and meaningless as a single word repeated over and over and over but hasn't this job already been done, isn't the real challenge to render them with some kind of meaning. if a novel poses questions many of which are unanswerable what is the novel's responsibility in terms of addressing those questions. In this one, Acker's narrator becomes a hieroglyphic and flies away."
