Spread Wide

For this encounter, Paul Buck met Kathy Acker, the american author of ground-breaking books of textual and narrative pulsations,who died in 1997. From a series of her letters to him, Buck creates a fiction that plays with issues central to Acker's heart, grounded as she was in art, literature, philosophy, latin and avant-garde film. Away to confront the issues of appropriation. To spread wide not only the thighs, but also the page and writing itself.
This book triggers further encounters from writer Rebecca Stephens and writer/artist John Cussans, as well as a string of others dragged into the foray.
