Literal Madness

Klappentext Kathy Goes to Haiti, the first of the three novels in Literal Madness, 'speaks to us out of a delightful mock naivete that remind some at times of the Dick and Jane readers rewritten as manuals for politics and sex. Zusammenfassung Kathy Goes to Haiti , the first of three novels in Literal Madness , “Speaks to us out of a delightful mock-na’veté that reminds one at times of the Dick and Jane readers rewritten as manuals for politics and sex . . . . At once hilarious and terrifying, [it] has all the logic of a Caribbean tour and a nightmare combined” ( Los Angeles Times ). My Death My Life by Pier Paolo Pasolini – wherein, among other things, the late Italian filmmaker solves his own murder, with the help of, among others, Romeo, Juliet, and the Bronté sisters – is a “scathing commentary on false values in art” ( The Hartford Courant ) In the haunting Florida , Acker achieves “a nearly telegraphic reduction of the Bogart-Bacall movie Key Largo to fatalistic, tough-guy essentials.” ( Booklist )
