Kathy Acker (1947-1997) was at the forefront of transgressive writing from the Seventies until her death. Her provocative intertextual narratives—halfway between autobiography and
pornography—were developed in lectures, performances and films (
Variety, Bette Gordon). Her published work includes
Blood and Guts in High School (1984),
Don Quixote (1986), and
Empire of the Senseless (1988).
