It's no wonder that\u003ci\u003e I Love Dick\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003ci\u003eI Love Dick \u003c\/i\u003eis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChris Kraus is the author of four novels, including \u003ci\u003eI Love Dick \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eSummer of Hate\u003c\/i\u003e; two books of art and cultural criticism; and most recently, \u003ci\u003eAfter Kathy Acker: A Literary Biography\u003c\/i\u003e.
