A masterpiece of surrealist fiction, steeped in controversy upon
its first publication in 1984, Blood and Guts in High School is the
book that established Kathy Acker as the preeminent voice of
post-punk feminism. With 2017 marking the 70th anniversary of her
birth, as well as the 10th year since her death this transgressive
work of philosophical, political, and sexual insight--with a new
introduction by Chris Kraus--continues to become more relevant than
ever before. In the Mexican city of Merida, ten-year-old Janey
lives with Johnny--her "boyfriend, brother, sister, money,
amusement, and father"--until he leaves her for another woman.
Bereft, Janey travels to New York City, plunging into an underworld
of gangs and prostitution. After escaping imprisonment, she flees
to Tangiers where she meets Jean Genet, and they begin a torrid
affair that will lead Janey to her demise. Fantastical, sensual,
and fearlessly radical, this hallucinatory collage is both a comic
and tragic portrait of erotic awakening.
