Rip off red, girl detective and The burning bombing of America
€16.00
Recently discovered and never before published, these two short novels were written in the early 1970s, at the beginning of Kathy Acker’s writing career. `Rip-off Red’ reads as a kind of Raymond Chandler for bad girls, as Acker’s typical literary playfulness transforms the genre conventions of detective fiction into a book that is simultaneously a mystery and a personal, raunchy, and politically astute account of life in New York City. The Burning Bombing of America is a dystopian vision of the destruction of America, combining crypto-Socialist class critique with the visceral surreality of the Book of Revelation. Published together here, they reveal a young writer on a literary romp, imposing an original, sexy, and subversive worldview that is unmistakably Acker.
