In I Love Dick, published in 1997, Chris Kraus, author of Aliens & Anorexia, Torpor, and Video Green, boldly tore away the veil that separates fiction from reality and privacy from self-expression. It's no wonder that I Love Dick instantly elicited violent controversies and attracted a host of passionate admirers. The story is gripping enough: in 1994 a married, failed independent filmmaker, turning forty, falls in love with a well-known theorist and endeavors to seduce him with the help of her husband. But when the theorist refuses to answer her letters, the husband and wife continue the correspondence for each other instead, imagining the fling the wife wishes to have with Dick. What follows is a breathless pursuit that takes the woman across America and away from her husband;and far beyond her original infatuation into a discovery of the transformative power of first person narrative. I Love Dick is a manifesto for a new kind of feminist who isn't afraid to burn through her own narcissism in order to assume responsibility for herself and for all the injustice in world;and it's a book you won't put down until the author's final, heroic acts of self-revelation and transformation.

Great novel, though I'm glad that I've graduated from this level of thinking. She is truly a monster. P.S. "Dick" is a name... 2am Sep. 6th

中后部分的references看得我云里雾里 还是吃了没文化的亏啊 but it's about the female irrepressibility "I aim to be a female monster too"

女性永远处于感情的弱势,疯狂程度令人唏嘘。一本写情书可以借鉴的文学

「一本Emma Bovary自述寫下的《Madame Bovary》」 所以,成為一名陷入狂熱unrequited love和潮濕斑駁性幻想的bad feminist又如何?跳脫出所有唯獨苛責女性——其與異性間的社交行為準則及道德規范的大框架來看,這只是一場身體力行解放隱藏的愛慾、崇拜與「女性凝視」的大型行為藝術而已,畢竟我們的生活如同滾動播放的實驗電影,人人參與其中。
