About this ebook
In this visionary world, Don Quixote journeys through American history to the final dys of the Nixon administration, passing on the way through a New York reminiscent of prerevolutionary St. Petersburg and a brutally defamiliarized contemporary London. Here transvestites who might play at being Nazis and beautiful she-males enact the rituals of courtly love. Presiding overt this late-twentieth-century Levithian is Thomas Hobbes--the Angel of Death.

Kathy Acker (Nueva York, 1947-Tijuana, 1997), novelista, ensayista y dramaturga, construyó una obra personalísima y renovadora a base de sintetizar influencias tan diversas como las de la narrativa de William S. Burroughs, Marguerite Duras o Gertrude Stein, el nouveau roman, la French Theory, el feminismo, la filosofía, el misticismo y la pornografía. Licenciada en Escritura Creativa por la Universidad de San Diego y con estudios de griego y literatura clásica, vivió entre Estados Unidos e Inglaterra y trabajó como administrativa, secretaria, stripper, performer porno y profe-sora de universidad. Entre sus títulos destacan Great Expectations (1982), relectura libérrima y subversiva del clásico de Dickens, la consagratoria Aborto en la escuela (1984), Don Quijote, que fue un sueño (1986) o El imperio de los sinsentidos (1988).
