Tachas 671 • Los Escorpiones • Kathy Acker
Andaba por ahí con una pandilla y estaba muerta de miedo. Formábamos parte de la banda de LOS ESCORPIONES. Papá ya no me quería. Y ya está. Andaba desesperada buscando el amor que me había robado. Mis amigos eran como yo. Estaban desesperados, eran producto de familias destrozadas, de la pobreza, y estaban dispuestos a cualquier cosa con tal de escapar de la miseria. A pesar de las restricciones escolares, hacíamos exactamente lo que nos daba la gana y así se estaba bien. Nos emborrachábamos.
Six Cult Classics You Have to Read
A book that earns the title of “cult classic” is one that combines two seemingly contradictory qualities: It has a passionate following of people who swear it’s the best thing they’ve ever read, but also, outside this intense fan base, it’s largely unknown. As word of mouth about such a book spreads, and the title’s partisans become evangelists, it begins to spark with a distinct kind of electricity.

Triptych from "Stripper Disintegration"
I had been collecting stories for an anthology about strippers for a decade when, in January 2017, my friend Adele Bertei and I went to the Standard Hotel in Downtown LA for a night of readings from and about Kathy Acker, part of Fiona Allison Duncan’s series, “Hard to Read.” Adele had known Acker well in New York; I went primarily to see Chris Kraus. Before the reading began, we had a quick bite with some of Kraus’s and Acker’s friends, including Matias Viegener, the executor of Acker’s estate.

Empty grocery shelves return as sick employees, supply chain delays collide Original
Bread aisle shelves at a Target are seen nearly empty as the U.S. continues to experience supply chain disruptions in Washington, U.S., January 9, 2022.

I'm Very into You
Description Praise Resources The tempestuous email correspondence between Kathy Acker and McKenzie Wark, shimmering with insight, gossip, sex, and cultural commentary. “Why am I telling you all this?

1980-1989: From Counterculture to Culture — The Meaning of the ’80s | The Village Voice
From Counterculture to Culture, But Here’s No Culture, Fuck Ecology and the Death of Communism: The Meaning of the ’80s January 2, 1990 1981 NYC Dear Lin, Today my mother met William Burroughs. She got, she said, invited to this dinner party that was all men. As the token woman. She said William Burroughs has the intelligence of the sharpest knife she’s ever met. She stood against one of the dining room walls and watched him go to work. He likes animals.
1980-1989: Pop Goes the Decade
Car 54: Wherever You Are, Stay There January 2, 1990 Eddie Gorodetsky spent most of the last decade collecting comic books, buying records, and making people laugh. In person, Eddie is not a man of modest proportions, and neither are his accomplishments: his comic book library (a word that perhaps does not suggest the Leaning Towers of illustrated erudition that line his East Village loft) long ago outnumbered his record library, which he underestimates at 10,000.

How Dried Figs, Norwegian Coffee, and Rotting Porn Magazines Inspired Jenny Hval’s The Practice of Love
Jenny Hval’s catalog is like an art-pop field guide to interiority. On a dozen releases this decade, the Norwegian artist’s work has collaged edges of literature, film, and visual art to subtly critique sex, politics, and the status quo with both seriousness and wit. At 39, she is a post-punk pop philosopher at the height of her craft: Hval’s last album, 2016’s Blood Bitch, was a deep inquiry into vampire movies and period blood, the feminine and the grotesque.

Great Expectations by Kathy Acker - BOMB Magazine
I Recall My Childhood My father’s name being Pirrip, and my Christian name Philip, my infant tongue could make of both names nothing longer or more explicit that Pip. So I called myself Pip, and came to be called Pip. I give Pirrip as my father’s family name on the authority of his tombstone and my sister—Mrs. Joe Gargery, who married the blacksmith. On Christmas Eve 1978 my mother committed suicide and in September of 1979 my grandmother (on my mother’s side) died.

Blood and Guts in High School
Kathy Acker was born in 1947 and was raised in New York City. In her twenties she broke ties with her family and worked as a stripper, while writing and publishing in the underground literary scene. The 1984 publication of Blood and Guts in High School caused a sensation - the book was at the centre of a surge of media attention. Diagnosed with breast cancer in 1996, she abandoned Western medicine after a traumatic experience of surgery.
"Everything Got Better and Weirder": On the Books that Changed Our Lives
By Molly McArdle It’s a truism to say that books change lives, but the commonality of the sentiment doesn’t make it any less real. Brooklyn Magazine asked as many writers and editors and book people it could think of to talk about the piece of writing that changed them. Their answers are myriad, delightful, and as personal as a fingerprint. Time to head to your local bookstore (or library) and stock up.
