Bodies of Work

"Scarified sensibility, subversive intellect, and predatory wit make her a writer like no other."-The New York Times

Kathy Acker is widely considered one of the important writers of the late twentieth century, yet her essays are available only in this comprehensive collection. Bodies of Work maps a wide-ranging cultural territory. From art and cinema, through politics, bodybuilding, science fiction, and the city, they reflect and challenge the times in which we live.
