About This Item
(New York): Semiotext(e) Native Agents, 1997. First edition. Very good plus.. Scarce first printing of this modern cult classic of sexuality, gender, and obsession - basis for the recent and well-received Amazon series directed by Joey Soloway and starring Kathryn Hahn and Kevin Bacon. Though ostensibly a novel ("This is a work of fiction," Kraus begins), I LOVE DICK is more an experimental memoir (in epistolary form) reconstructed from Kraus's own letters that document (and enact) her obsession with Dick Hebdige, the noted structuralist critic. In the twenty-five years since its publication, DICK has rightly earned it status as a cult classic that presciently examines themes of gender, identity, aging, and longing. While the book has been reprinted and republished many times since, the true first edition remains rather elusive. A fearless - Kraus was married to Semiotext(e) publisher Sylvère Lotringer at the time - and influential debut. 7'' x 4.5''. Original printed yellow-green wrappers designed by Mark Stritzel. [10], 175, [3] pages. Mild edgewear. Slight creasing and lean to spine. Else clean and sound.
