Description
Chris Kraus's biography of Kathy Acker is a deeply personal and meticulously researched exploration of the writer's life and work.
Acker's legend has been shaped by her own mythologies, but this first fully authorized biography offers a nuanced and intimate portrait of an artist who embodied contradictions. Through exhaustive archival research and conversations with colleagues and friends, Kraus charts Acker's movement through some of the most significant artistic enterprises of the late 20th century.
This book provides a unique insight into Acker's discipline as a writer and her place within the artistic communities that influenced her work.
