Details
Edited by Amy Scholder & Dennis Cooper with an introduction by Jeanette Winterson.
Acker was a literary pirate whose prodigious output drew promiscuously from popular culture, high literature, current events and the raw material of her own life. Her vision questions everything we take for granted - the authority of parents, government, and the law; sexuality and the policing of desire - and puts in its place a universe of shameless, playful freakery. ESSENTIAL ACKER spans her career from her 70s punk interventions through more than a dozen of her novels
