Blood and Guts in High School

$37.95
Dive into 'Blood and Guts in High School', a seminal work that transcends genres—feminism, capitalism, punk culture, and youthful rebellion converge in this extraordinary novel. Written by Kathy Acker, this 176-page book, published by Penguin UK in 2017, offers readers a unique coming-of-age experience through a riotous blend of prose, poetry, and illustrations. Unflinchingly candid, Acker's work explores the complexities of adolescence, infatuation, and the chaos of city life in the USA.

Known for its bold themes and raw portrayal of teenage angst, 'Blood and Guts in High School' features Acker’s annotated 'dream maps' and provocative illustrations that challenge societal norms. Upon its initial release in 1984, it became a touchstone for feminist literature and continues to resonate strongly with readers today. This must-have book is perfect for those interested in feminism, counterculture, and literature that pushes boundaries.

Discover the unapologetic spirit of youth in a world that can often feel restrictive. Add 'Blood and Guts in High School' to your collection and immerse yourself in a powerful narrative that invites conversation and reflection.

Description:
This is a book about feminism, capitalism, sex, punk, youth, the city, the literary giants, anger, infatuation and the USA. A teenage coming-of-age story and a glorious, delirious patchwork of prose, poetry, drama, plagiarism and illustration. Childlike sexual drawings pepper the book, along with Acker's surreal, minutely detailed, annotated 'dream maps'. Hugely controversial upon its publication in 1984, Blood and Guts in High School has lost none of its power to shock and is still revered by readers today.
