Ninety-Fifth Book
Great Expectations : Kathy Acker
Grove : 1989
Bought at Dawn Treader Book Shop for $5.50+
Started 11.26.06
Finished 11.28.06
The Line: "As a result of his own barrenness, he develops a capacity to absorb the fertility of others. Of the real self. The only way you can get the real self is to rip someone off. The only way you can get love. Humans need love. You're a con man" (98).
It's no Tao Te Ching,
but I found strange comfort in
her plush pipebomb prose. ¶ 12:45
