“A masterpiece of surrealist fiction, steeped in controversy upon its first publication in 1984, Blood and Guts in High School is the book that established Kathy Acker as the preeminent voice of post-punk feminism. In the Mexican city of Merida, ten-year-old Janey lives with Johnny–her “boyfriend, brother, sister, money, amusement, and father”–until he leaves her for another woman. Bereft, Janey travels to New York City, plunging into an underworld of gangs and prostitution. After escaping imprisonment, she flees to Tangiers where she meets Jean Genet, and they begin a torrid affair that will lead Janey to her demise. Fantastical, sensual, and fearlessly radical, this hallucinatory collage is both a comic and tragic portrait of erotic awakening.”

Grove Press, undated reprint of the 1978 Softcover edition. Residue on spine and back wrap seemingly from sticker removal. Residue isn’t sticky but is noticeable. Some writing throughout along with general wear
