chervbim's review against another edition
4.0
This one took me a minute to get through because some of the descriptions of violence and harm really got to me, but I enjoyed it a lot overall. Reading this with everything going on politically was definitely the right decision. I know I always say this, but Kathy Acker's work is so relevant to the neoliberal hellscape we live in today and this one in particular had some big wow moments, especially towards the end.
