Description Kathy Ackers practice of literary appropriation and pastiche made her notorious--as a rebel and a groundbreaker--when Great Expectations was first published in 1982. Here, she begins rewriting Charles Dickenss classic--splicing it with passages from Pierre Guyotats sexually violent Eden, Eden, Eden , among other texts--alongside Ackers trademark pithy dialogue, as well as prank missives to the likes of Susan Sontag, Sylv re Lotringer, and God. At the center of this form-shifting narrative, Ackers protagonist collects an inheritance following her mothers suicide, which compels her to revisit and reinterpret traumatic scenes from the past. Switching perspectives, identities, genders, and centuries, the speaker lustily ransacks world literature to celebrate and challenge the discourse around art, love, life, and death. About the Author Kathy Acker (1948 - 1997) was an influential postmodernist writer and performance artist, whose many books include Blood and Guts in High School; Don Quixote; Literal Madness; Empire of the Senseless; In Memoriam to Identity; My Mother: Demonology; Pussy, King of the Pirates; Portrait of an Eye; and Rip-Off Red, Girl Detective .
