Description
Robert Glück's Margery Kempe is a provocative novel that explores two stories of romantic obsession. The book is based on the first autobiography in English, the medieval Book of Margery Kempe, and the author's own experiences. It tells the tale of a 15th-century woman's love affair with Jesus, as well as the author's own love for an alluring and elusive young American. This novel is an unprecedented exploration of desire, devotion, abjection, and sexual obsession, bearing comparison with the work of writers such as Kathy Acker and Chris Kraus. The book includes an essay by the author, "My Margery, Margery's Bob," which provides insight into the creation of this unique work.
