Kathy Acker's 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 Dickens's classic--splicing it with passages from Pierre Guyotat's sexually violent Eden, Eden, Eden, among other texts--alongside Acker's 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, Acker's protagonist collects an inheritance following her mother's 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.

Gorgeous bag!
Size: One Size, Color: Black
I love this bag. I bought it for essentials like wallet, sunglasses, phone and it fits everything nicely, maintaining its structured shape. The lining is gorgeous as is the outside. I like the adjustable strap as well with the chain embellishments. It is lightweight and it's clear that it will last. So far I've never been disappointed in MK products.
