WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
"Literal Madness is Acker at her most powerful, disturbing, and provocative." Catherine Texier
"No writer I know is more audicious than Cathy Acker, who's anarchic wit tries a thorough going attack on conventons and complacencies of all sorts....No unlike Gertrude Stein in her day, Acker gives us a different way to look at the uses to which language is put." Lynne Tillman
