Pussy

Prior to her untimely death last year at only forty eight years old, Kathy Acker was one of America’s most popular avant-garde novelists, publishing fifteen novels plus collections of essays and short stories. On Pussy Acker reads extracts from her last novel, Pussy, King Of The Pirates, published in 1995. In this recording, Acker brought together women pirates, whores, dildoes and tampons in a work that is, true to form, bursting with graphic sex, wanton plagiarism and a persuasive worldview of visionary subversion.
