ref. 21230831980. London. c. 1980. 277 x 217 mm. Typescript stapled in top left corner; cover sheet ff. 13 printed on recto only with illustration to f. 11; horizontal crease across middle cover sheet sunned with small black ink stains light browning to first couple of leaves a little chipping to edges very good.Typescript of a typically unsettling essay containing unpublished material.This is possibly a photocopy given the apparent cropping of the text on f. 8 and at the tops of a couple of leaves of an essay that would be published in truncated form in 'L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E Volume Four' eds. Bruce Andrews and Charles Bernstein an issue of the journal Open Letter Fifth Series No. 1 Winter 1982 ed. Frank Davey pp. 83-86. The same issue contains an appreciation of Kathy Acker by Steve Benson pp. 77-82.The published version omits the title 'Essay on Writing' and the parts of the article that fantastical letters between Alfred de Musset Georges Sands and Gustave Flaubert as well as the 'VOODOO MAP WITH PICTURES OF EEYORE LOOKING FOR HIS TAIL' although it does include the closing section that features Winnie-the-Pooh and Owl facing a semantic crisis. The piece as a whole is a disorienting discussion of Acker's thesis that literature emerges when 'meaning is destroyed'. This argument is initally laid out in a fairly straightforward manner but is quickly complicated by Acker's characteristic mixture of allusion sexual fantasy and brutal humour. It is given an autobiographical slant by a passage describing a bitter middle-class female poet whose father disappears and whose mother quickly remarries leaving her bereft of security. In a harrowing section omitted in the published version Acker goes further by creating a desperate abandoned persona called Wendy the name of her estranged step-sister. The lesson seems to be that the loss of meaning and therefore the origin of literature lies in the kind of trauma that leaves a person unsure of what's true or good or safe: 'This is how mothers crap up their children. My attitude toward language stinks.' unknown
1991ref. SBBIH-F2QP55Y4EU7ZFlamingo 1991. paperback. Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing fanning inscriptions margin notes yellowing staining on edge or cover or pages bumps scuffs etc etc sometimes multiple of these. It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor.
