Product details

New York City is very peaceful and quiet, and the pale grey mists are slowly rising to show me the world. Pip switches identities, sexes, and centuries in this punk, fairytale reimagining of Charles Dickens's original Great Expectations. Both familiar and unfamiliar, our orphaned narrator is transplanted to New York City in the 1980s, becoming, by turns, a sailor, a pirate, a rebel, and an outlaw, through adventures incorporating desire, creativity, porn, sadism, and art. This ribald explosion of literature, sex, and violence shows the literary anarchist Kathy Acker at her most brilliant and brave. Acker's most accomplished experimental work - The Village Voice. A postmodern Colette with echoes of Cleland's Fanny Hill - William S. Burroughs.
