Don Quixote

Viac o knihe

Kathy Acker's Don Quixote is an indomitable woman on a formidable quest: to become a knight and defeat the evil enchanters of modern America by pursuing "the most insane idea that any woman can think of. Which is to love.'" In this visionary world, Don Quixote journeys through American history to the final dys of the Nixon administration, passing on the way through a New York reminiscent of prerevolutionary St. Petersburg and a brutally defamiliarized contemporary London. Here transvestites who might play a t being Nazis and beautiful she-males enact the rituals of courtly love. Presiding overt this late-twentieth-century <i>Levithian</i> is Thomas Hobbes--the Angel of Death.
