1.Blood and Guts in High School: A Novel (Acker, Kathy)Blood and Guts in High School: A Novel (Acker, Kathy)
from Grove Press
Price: $10.40

Customer Review:
I am either too literal, too linear, too unimaginative, too normal, or some combination therein, to find anything remotely advantageous about reading this book, other than being prepared for class (it's required reading). I was not shocked, disgusted, horrified, entertained, touched, enthused,... more info

2.Don Quixote: A Novel (Acker, Kathy)Don Quixote: A Novel (Acker, Kathy)
from Grove Press
Price: $9.60

Customer Review:
At the core of this novel Kathy Acker states the dilemma succinctly thus: "It can't be mistaken to need someone else to love and yet only human solitariness allows human survival." On every level--the personal, the social, the psychological, the political, the cosmic--this paradox is replayed in... more info

3.Great Expectations: A Novel (Acker, Kathy)Great Expectations: A Novel (Acker, Kathy)
from Grove Press
Price: $8.80

Customer Review:
In this novel Acker aims her critique at the gnarly intersection of capitalism, violence, sexual dysfunction, and male dominance. In order to live out this critique, Acker jettisons most of the (male-dominated) traditions of narrative as she writes, systematically disrupting the stability of... more info

4.Pussy, King of the Pirates (Acker, Kathy)Pussy, King of the Pirates (Acker, Kathy)
from Grove Press
Price: $12.15

Customer Review:
Normally I am a huge fan of Kathy Acker, not this. Her style is there but it's jumbled and incoherent.

5.Empire of the Senseless: A Novel (Acker, Kathy)Empire of the Senseless: A Novel (Acker, Kathy)
from Grove Press
Price: $10.20

Customer Review:
I tried for years to stick up for Acker, but her concepts are always infinitely more interesting than her execution. The truth is she had no natural feel for language -- there's no music to her prose, none at all, and all of the novels sound better when just the titles are read. But the idea of her... more info

6.Trouble on Triton: An Ambiguous HeterotopiaTrouble on Triton: An Ambiguous Heterotopia
from Wesleyan
Price: $11.96

Customer Review:
TRITON is the story of Bron Helstrom, an ex-Martian gigolo residing in a male dormontory on Triton. Delany's "science" is ludicrous to say the least, but his characterizations and portraits of society breaking apart into tribes of people with similar notions or physical appearances is fascinating.... more info

from Grove Press
Price: $13.50

Customer Review:
This may well be Acker's masterpiece--a book in which all of her previous experimentation achieves its fullest transmutation into a fluid organic whole. *my mother: demonology* isn't a novel, so much as a state of consciousness enclosed between two covers--a book that's like a box of spirits which... more info

Customer Review:
Kathy goes to Haiti. Every man wants her to be his wife. A man takes her home. She is his wife. She cries. Little kids laugh at her. She goes somewhere else. Different men want Kathy as their wife. She doesn't let the first one take her home. Kathy is learning.
