Kathy Acker war eine amerikanische Schriftstellerin.

Ihr erstes literarisches Werk hieß Black Tarantula. Unter diesem Pseudonym trat Kathy Acker zuweilen auch auf. Sie begeisterte sich für die Arbeiten von William S. Burroughs und für die Ideen und Texte des Antipsychiaters Ronald D. Laing.

Kathy Ackers Ruf als Queen of Punk beruhte einerseits auf formalen und inhaltlichen Schwerpunkten ihrer literarischen Arbeit, andererseits aber auch auf der Stilisierung ihrer Person. Wikipedia

Pussy, King of the Pirates (1996)

“Let me put it another way. Most people are what they sense and if all you see day after day is a mat on a floor that belongs to the rats and four walls with tiny piles of plaster at the bottom, and all you eat is starch, and all you hear is continuous music, you smell garbage and piss which drips through the walls continually, and all the people you know live like you, it's not horrible, it's just… Who they are.”

“Every day a sharp tool, a powerful destroyer, is necessary to cut away dullness, lobotomy, buzzing, belief in human beings, stagnancy, images, and accumulation. As soon as we stop believing in human beings, rather know we are dogs and trees, we'll start to be happy.”

“"Why are they ashamed and miserable?"
"They're repenting they're white. Any thinking human does it. Don't you read your own history books? So if you attack those miserable moderns or modernist, knight, you'll be making a miserable historical mistake. You will be preventing whites from hating their own whiteness."
Don Quixote finally refused the dogs' attack on her attack: "Liberalism has never stopped me from doing anything", said the knight.”

Blood and Guts in High School (1978)

“The students who come to my class are very closely related to all the evil girls who are very interested in their bodies and sex and pleasure. I learn a lot from them about how to have pleasure and how cool the female body is. One of my students had a piercing through her labia. And she told me about how when you ride on a motorcycle, the little bead on the ring acts like a vibrator. Her story turned me on so I did it. I got two. It was very cool.
I'm very staid compared to my students, actually. I come from a generation where you've got the PC dykes and confused heterosexuals. No one ever told me that you could walk around with a strap-on, having orgasms.”
