The latest novel from the author of cult super-hit I Love Dick, now an Amazon Prime TV series starring Kathryn Hahn and Kevin Bacon
Chris Kraus is the author of four novels, including Aliens & Anorexia, I Love Dick, and Torpor, and two books of art and cultural criticism, all published by Semiotext(e). She was a 2016 Guggenheim Fellow and teaches writing at European Graduate School.
[Kraus's] use of tense and modality are exceptional ... the sense
of anomie, of lethargy, of the noon day demon are palpable ...
Kraus is capable of creating fascinating work.
*Spectator*
Praise for I Love Dick:
'I know there was a time before I read Chris Kraus's I Love Dick
(in fact, that time was only five years ago), but it's hard to
imagine; some works of art do this to you. They tear down so many
assumptions about what the form can handle (in this case, what the
form of the novel can handle) that there is no way to re-create
your mind before your encounter with them
*Sheila Heti*
Ever since I read I Love Dick, I have revered it as one of the most
explosive, revealing, lacerating and unusual memoirs ever committed
to the page ... I Love Dick is never a comfortable read, and it is
by turns exasperating, horrifying, and lurid, but it is never less
than genuine, and often completely illuminating about the life of
the mind.
*Rick Moody*
