Description
Kissing Dead Girls by Daphne Gottlieb is a provocative and unflinching exploration of desire, identity, and the human experience. Through a fusion of poetry and postfeminist theory, Gottlieb probes the complex relationships between love, war, and the self. In this innovative work, Gertrude Stein's ideas are re-examined in order to better understand the nature of knowledge and recognition. Walt Whitman's verse is also reworked into a series of fragmented and formal poems, while The Exorcist and The Devil in Miss Jones are drawn together in a bold attempt to locate the horror at the heart of human desire. Gottlieb's writing is both playful and penetrating, making this book a compelling read for anyone interested in exploring the complexities of the human condition.
