Fionnáin reviewed Bodies of Work by Kathy Acker
Review of 'Bodies of Work' on 'GoodReads'
4 stars
Excellent collection of essays that deal with art, the body, and language. As an author Acker has a brilliant way of executing punk humour with detailed research, and her choices of subject matter (writing, William S. Burroughs, Peter Greenaway, bodybuilding, two seven-year-old penpals) are all dealt with brilliantly. This is criticism at its best, and a nice introduction to Acker.
