A clever, finely crafted crossover between life, love and cultural studies.
--The AustralianBut my favorite example of the genre is from nearly 20 years ago, and it's by a woman. Chris Kraus's 'I Love Dick' offers the story of a woman named Chris Kraus--also an experimental filmmaker, just like the author--reckoning with her unrequited love for 'Dick ____, ' a cultural critic with whom she becomes obsessed. The narrative is an exploration of desire as something other than passivity or inadequacy ('I think desire isn't lack, it's surplus energy--a claustrophobia inside your skin') and relentless romantic pursuit not as self-degradation but a kind of generative, creative act.
--The New York TimesThe most important book about men and women written in the last century.
--The GuardianThe intelligence and honesty and total originality of Chris Kraus make her work not just great but indispensable--especially now, when everything is so confusing, so full of despair. I read everything Chris Kraus writes; she softens despair with her brightness, and with incredible humor, too.
--Rachel Kushner, author of The FlamethrowersA little masterpiece of late twenieth century literature.
--East Hampton StarDevastatingly funny and sublime... a new classic.
--The Seattle StrangerEver since I read I Love Dick, I have revered it as one of the most explosive, revealing, lacerating, and unusual memoirs ever committed to the page... I Love Dick is never a comfortable read, and it is by turns exasperating, horrifying, and lurid, but it is never less than genuine, and often completely illuminating about the life of the mind.
--Post RoadTart, brazen and funny... a cautionary tale, I Love Dick raises disturbing but compelling questions about female social behavior, power, control.
--The NationThe biggest art revelation of the year.
--The New Zealand ListenerUnexpectedly riveting.
