Reading Kathy Acker is like playing hopscotch with a genius -- Richard Foreman An avatar of nomadic urban modern primitive tribes... her novels perform postmodern campfire grill voodoo... She was a magician -- R.U. Sirius Scarified sensibility,subversive intellect, and predatory wit make her a writer like no other * The New York Times Review of Books * Kathy Acker's writing is virtuoso, maddening, crazy, so sexy, so painful, and beaten out of a wild heart that nothing can tame. Acker is a landmark writer -- Jeanette Winterson Acker understands that writing without myth is nothing * Chris Kraus * Acker gives her work the power to mirror the reader's soul -- William S. Burroughs Twenty years after her death and I still miss her -- Neil Gaiman [Kathy Acker is] part rebel bohemian avant-gardiste, part NYC downtown punk, and part venerable literary grande dame -- Michael Bracewell Acker's work, more than that of any other writer I can think of, challenged the traditional lines of demarcation between poetry and novel, between high culture and popular trash and, perhaps most important of all, between literature and art world. -- London Review of Books * Peter Wollen * A coming-of-age story which examines incest and paedophilia with a profoundly Sadist literary bent ... can be credited with moving mainstream literature into indie territory. -- A Stevens * Guardian * Acker is a postmodern Colette with echoes of Cleland's Fanny Hill -- William S.
