Kathy Acker's Don Quixote is an indomitable woman on a formidable
quest: to become a knight and defeat the evil enchanters of modern
America by pursuing "the most insane idea that any woman can think
of. Which is to love." In this visionary world, Don Quixote
journeys through American history to the final days of the Nixon
administration, passing on the way through a New York reminiscent
of pre-revolutionary St. Petersburg and a brutally defamiliarized
contemporary London. Here transvestites who might play at being
Nazis and beautiful she-males enact the rituals of courtly love.
Presiding over this late-twentieth-century Leviathan is Thomas
Hobbes-the Angel of Death.
