Don Quixote, which was a Dream

Don Quixote, which was a Dream | Kathy Acker

“'Even freaks need homes, countries, language, communication.
“'The only characteristic freaks share is our knowledge that we don't fit in. Anywhere. It is for you, freaks my loves, I am writing and it is about you. Since humans enjoy moralizing, over and over again they attack us.
“Language presupposes community. Therefore without you, nothing I say has any meaning. Without love or language, I do not exist.“

Remembering Kathy Acker on her b-day.

SamAnne I remember hen she did a reading at my college in the 1980s. She was a force of nature. 2y

Bibliobear @SamAnne Very cool. Would have loved to see her read. Am so glad to see that her work is beginning to get more attention these days, with her books being reprinted, a couple symposiums on her work & life, and the publication of Eat Your Mind by Jason McBride, an excellent biography that came out not too long ago (And I just finished reading. Can & do recommend!)
