After Kathy Acker: A Literary Biography

Kraus, Chris

Synopsis:

The first authorized biography of poet, artist, feminist, scholar, and cult figure Kathy Acker, written by Chris Kraus. Kraus and Acker, although not close to each other, have shared friends, lovers, and artistic circles. In Kraus's words, she began writing about Acker "through the distance", but with this incredible frisson of feeling that often I could write "I" instead of "she."
