The Vivid Resurrection of a Post-Punk Literary Icon
After Kathy Acker engenders a powerful desire to read (or reread) all of Acker’s work in the light of Kraus’s revelations of the connection between Acker’s lived life with the art that emerged from it. Not that it’s necessary to have read Acker before reading this biography — hopefully Kraus’s book will help new readers find the work.
