Partly 'cause the whole queerness\/identity thing for me stretches through everything, absolutely everything. Slipping between straight\/gay is child's play compared to slipping between writer\/teacher\/influence-peddler whatever. I forget who I am. You reminded me of who I prefer to be.” [M.W.] \"It's two in the morning... I know what you mean about slipping roles: I love it, going high low, power helpless even captive, male female, all over the place, space totally together and brain-sharp, if it wasn't for play I'd be bored stiff and I think boredom is the emotion I find most unbearable... ” [KA] —from I'm Very into You After Kathy Acker met McKenzie Wark on a trip to Australia in 1995, they had a brief fling and immediately began a heated two-week email correspondence. Their emails shimmer with insight, gossip, sex, and cultural commentary. They write in a frenzy, several times a day; their emails cross somewhere over the International Date Line, and themselves become a site of analysis. What results is an index of how two brilliant and idiosyncratic writers might go about a courtship across 7,500 miles of airspace—by pulling in Alfred Hitchcock, stuffed animals, Georges Bataille, Elvis Presley, phenomenology, Marxism, The X-files, psychoanalysis, and the I Ching. Their corresepondence is a Plato's Symposium for the twenty-first century, but written for queers, transsexuals, nerds, and book geeks. I'm Very Into You is a text of incipience, a text of beginnings, and a set of notes on the short, shared passage of two iconic individuals of our time.","brand":"Autonomedia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53367311925590,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9781584351641_1.jpg?v=1778854887","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/acker-kathy-kathy-acker-i-m-very-into-you-correspondance-1995-1996-9781584351641","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
