Kathy goes to Haiti, the first of the three novels in Literal Madness, "speaks to us out of a delightful mock-naivete' thta 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 Bronte sisters - is a "scathing commentary of 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). 410 pages, with the top corner bent a bit. 1" red mark along the bottom. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
