I kept reading for the study of infatuation, self, feminism but all the art world references and analyses went over my head. Women being self destructive while being public is a cool idea. "Performative philosophy." ( ) This is the first Idle Book Club pick that I've bounced off of. There's only so much wry self-awareness I can take. Maybe this is all lost on me as a guy, or maybe I don't have the necessary grounding in the art world, but I just never felt like there was anything in the book that I could get any enjoyment or enrichment out of. There are some points where Kraus's talent as a writer becomes suddenly striking, but most of that is just washed out in the noise. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

In I Love Dick, published in 1997, Chris Kraus, author of Aliens & Anorexia, Torpor, and Video Green, boldly tore away the veil that separates fiction from reality and privacy from self-expression. It's no wonder that I Love Dick instantly elicited violent controversies and attracted a host of passionate admirers. The story is gripping enough: in 1994 a married, failed independent filmmaker, turning forty, falls in love with a well-known theorist and endeavors to seduce him with the help of her husband. But when the theorist refuses to answer her letters, the husband and wife continue the correspondence for each other instead, imagining the fling the wife wishes to have with Dick. What follows is a breathless pursuit that takes the woman across America and away from her husband; and far beyond her original infatuation into a discovery of the transformative power of first person narrative. I Love Dick is a manifesto for a new kind of feminist who isn't afraid to burn through her own narcissism in order to assume responsibility for herself and for all the injustice in world; and it's a book you won't put down until the author's final, heroic acts of self-revelation and transformation.
