Summary: On the Attack
Comment: Acker is well known for her curious brand of W.S. Burroughsian hypertextual fiction. However, in this essay collection, Acker experiments with the realm of non-fiction and pushes the essay to its limits. Her writing here is just as political, transgressive, and outrageous as it is in her novels. Acker takes on a wide breadth of subject matter including the importance of Peter Greenaway's films and the ideological underpinnings of fairytales. What makes Acker a cut above the rest of the postmoderns known for shock is the same thing that made Burroughs so great, a razor sharp intellect. A must for Acker-ites and a good place to start for those who want a glimpse into the interests that inform Acker's fiction. Bodies of Work is also a useful and concise essay collection for anyone interested in art, politics, and culture in the postmodern frame.
