Blurb:
The doomed love affair between Rimbaud and Verlaine; the rape of Airplane and her search for sexual oblivion; the child Capitol's escape from her tortured family life into the cruel and fractured relationship with artist Harry. In these three separate narratives, Kathy Acker, drawing from both classic texts and Americana to produce a startling and inventive montage of history and literature, pornography and poetry, brilliantly explores the shifting and intangible nature of the self.
Sending out on a bookring. Will read it on its return. Perhaps.

then back to me. But, you know, don't rush or anything.

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:
On its way to the first reader. Please take your time reading this, as I'm in no hurry to have it back.
Unfortunately I am in a peculiar emotional state due to a serious family matter, and could not concentrate on the Rimbaud piece when I started reading it about two weeks ago. It's the description of emotional & physical pain that got to me, I could not focus on the text precisely because of my own at this time.
I will try to get back to this as soon as possible.
