{"product_id":"im-very-into-you-correspondence-1995-1996","title":"I'm Very into You","description":"The tempestuous email correspondence between Kathy Acker and McKenzie Wark, shimmering with insight, gossip, sex, and cultural commentary.“Why am I telling you all this? Partly ''cause the whole queerness\/identity thing for me stretches through everything, absolutely everything. Slipping between straight\/gay is child''s play compared to slipping between writer\/teacher\/influence-peddler whatever. I forget who I am. You reminded me of who I prefer to be.” [M.W.]“It''s two in the morning... I know what you mean about slipping roles: I love it, going high low, power helpless even captive, male female, all over the place, space totally together and brain-sharp, if it wasn''t for play I''d be bored stiff and I think boredom is the emotion I find most unbearable... ” [KA]\u003cbr\u003e—from I''m Very into YouAfter Kathy Acker met McKenzie Wark on a trip to Australia in 1995, they had a brief fling and immediately began a heated two-week email correspondence. Their emails shimmer with insight, gossip, sex, and cultural commentary. They write in a frenzy, several times a day; their emails cross somewhere over the International Date Line, and themselves become a site of analysis. What results is an index of how two brilliant and idiosyncratic writers might go about a courtship across 7,500 miles of airspace—by pulling in Alfred Hitchcock, stuffed animals, Georges Bataille, Elvis Presley, phenomenology, Marxism, The X-files, psychoanalysis, and the I Ching.Their corresepondence is a Plato''s Symposium for the twenty-first century, but written for queers, transsexuals, nerds, and book geeks. I''m Very Into You is a text of incipience, a text of beginnings, and a set of notes on the short, shared passage of two iconic individuals of our time.","brand":"Autonomedia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33011320619108,"sku":"9781584351641","price":23.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0048\/8207\/1652\/files\/9781584351641_1-im-very-into-you.jpg?v=1759421554","url":"https:\/\/suomalainen-test.myshopify.com\/products\/im-very-into-you-correspondence-1995-1996","provider":"Suomalainen Test","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
