Kathy Acker
Kathy Acker (April 18, 1947 [disputed] – November 30, 1997) was an American
experimental novelist, poet, playwright, essayist, critic,
performance artist, and
postmodernist writer, known for her idiosyncratic and
transgressive writing that dealt with complex themes such as
childhood trauma,
sexuality,
language,
identity, and
rebellion. Her writing incorporates
pastiche and the
cut-up technique, involving cutting-up and scrambling passages and sentences; she also defined her writing as existing in the post-''
nouveau roman'' European tradition. In her texts, she combines
biographical elements, power, sex and violence.
