Kathy Acker Bücher

Kathy Acker forever – Lust for Life! Kathy Acker ist eine Legende, ihre Werke sind Klassiker der postmodernen Literatur.

Die Geschichte handelt von Janey, die in einem verschlossenen Raum lebte, wo sie einen Zettel fand und begann, ihr Leben aufzuschreiben. Es ist eine Erzählung von Lust, Sex, Schmerz, Jugend, Punk, Anarchie, Banden, der Stadt, Feminismus, Amerika, Jean Genet und den Gefängnissen, die wir für uns selbst schaffen. Ein berauschender, surrealer Mix aus Coming-of-Age-Geschichte, Prosa, Poesie, Plagiat und Illustration. Kathy Ackers bahnbrechender Roman von 1984 sorgte für große Kontroversen und machte sie zu einer Ikone der avantgardistischen Literatur.

Aus dem Amerikanischen von Borchardt, Kirsten ; Grzonka, Patricia Mit Abb. 271 S.

The incredible variety of Acker's body of work has been distilled into a single volume that reads like a communique from the front lines of late-20th century America. Acker was a literary pirate whose prodigious output drew promiscuously from popular culture, the classics of Western civilization, current events, and the raw material of her own life.

This collection features three early self-published novels by Kathy Acker, showcasing her pioneering voice in experimental literature. Accompanied by a new introduction from Kate Zambreno, the book highlights Acker's unique narrative style and thematic explorations. Readers can expect to delve into Acker's unconventional storytelling and bold exploration of identity, sexuality, and the boundaries of language.

Kathy Acker was a punk-rock counter-cultural icon, and innovator of the literary underground. The interviews collected here span her amazing, uncompromising, and often misunderstood 30-year career. From Acker's earliest interviews--filled with playful, evasive, and counter-intuitive responses--to the last interview before her death where she reflects on the state of American literature, these interviews capture the writer at her funny and surprising best. Another highlight includes Acker's 1997 interview with the Spice Girls on the forces of pop and feminism (which reads as if it could have been conducted with a new generation of pop star in 2018).

"After Kathy Acker met McKenzie Wark on a trip to Australia in 1995, they had a brief fling and immediately began a heated two-week email correspondence. Their emails shimmer with insight, gossip, sex, and cultural commentary. They write in a frenzy, several times a day; their emails cross somewhere over the International Date Line, and themselves become a site of analysis. What results is an index of how two brilliant and idiosyncratic writers might go about a courtship across 7,500 miles of airspace--by pulling in Alfred Hitchcock, stuffed animals, Georges Bataille, Elvis Presley, phenomenology, Marxism, The X-Files, psychoanalysis, and the I Ching. Their correspondence is Plato's Symposium for the twenty-first century, but written for queers, transsexuals, nerds, and book geeks. I'm Very Into You is a text of incipience, a text of beginnings, and a set of notes on the short, shared passage of two iconic individuals of our time."--Page 4 of cover

My Death My Life by Pier Paolo Pasolini imagines the Italian filmmaker and writer returning to the Roman homosexual hustlers he knew, in a "scathing commentary on false values in art" (The Hartford Courant).

Kathy Acker's characteristically outrageous, lyrical, and hyperinventive novel concerns three characters who share an impulse toward self-immolation through doomed, obsessive romance. Teetering somewhere between the Beats and Punk, IN MEMORIAM TO IDENTITY is at once a revelatory addition to, and an irreverent critique of, literature of decadence and self-destruction.

Kathy Acker's Don Quixote features a determined woman on a bold quest to become a knight and combat modern America's evil enchanters by pursuing the audacious idea of love.
