I love Dick - Chris Kraus

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.
