In "I Love Dick," published in 1997, Chris Kraus, author of "Aliens
& Anorexia," "Torpor," and "Video Green," boldly tore away the
veil that separates fiction from reality and privacy from
self-expression. It's no wonder that "I Love Dick" instantly
elicited violent controversies and attracted a host of passionate
admirers. The story is gripping enough: in 1994 a married, failed
independent filmmaker, turning forty, falls in love with a
well-known theorist and endeavors to seduce him with the help of
her husband. But when the theorist refuses to answer her letters,
the husband and wife continue the correspondence for each other
instead, imagining the fling the wife wishes to have with Dick.
What follows is a breathless pursuit that takes the woman across
America and away from her husband--and far beyond her original
infatuation into a discovery of the transformative power of first
person narrative. "I Love Dick" is a manifesto for a new kind of
feminist who isn't afraid to burn through her own narcissism in
order to assume responsibility for herself and for all the
injustice in world--and it's a book you won't put down until the
author's final, heroic acts of self-revelation and transformation.
