More about the book
Exploring themes of self-immolation and obsessive romance, the novel features three characters whose lives intertwine in a narrative that blends outrageousness with lyrical inventiveness. Set against a backdrop that fuses elements of the Beats and Punk, it serves as both a revelatory addition to and a critique of decadent literature. Acker's work delves into the darker aspects of identity and desire, challenging conventional narratives of self-destruction.
