Publisher's Note
Loosely related to Robert Louis Stevenson's classic Treasure Island, Pussy, King of the Pirates is a grrrl pirate story that journeys from the most famous whorehouse in Alexandria through an unidentified, crumbling city that may or may not be sometime in the future, to Brighton Town, England, and, finally, to a ship headed toward Pirate Island, where the stories converge and the vision ends. Ransacking world history, literature, and language itself to speak to the current zeitgeist, Pussy, King of the Pirates is the literary analogue to the wild girl energy that dominates our rock and roll culture in the 1990s. A daring and passionate litany of disparate narratives and voices, poetry and prose, words and images, Kathy Acker's newest novel is perhaps her most subversive to date. Her meditations on love, sex, death, and art have made her a writer like no one else working today.

Industry reviews
"I think I see the world through a sexual lens, like Genet. The idea that you exist to please men--that is almost relentlessly my subject. "
Interview - Kathy Acker 

"Kathy Acker recalls Scheherazade, exploding with stories against the possibilities of death in narratives stripped to their harshest and most basic strategies. Whether, as here, she is recreating Artaud's letters or the 'Story of O', the energy is infectious and the intelligence lances about, flaying open the places where truth hides beneath sex, where, among her coruscating ironies, comedy, drama, and thermite-bright insights nudge one another out from behind her outrageous and accurate sentences."
Book Jacket - Samuel R. Delany 

"Acker continues her dizzying experiments in fiction--her dream narratives with their loose structure and shifting pronouns--and again punctuates her prose with the same tired insights on sex, class, and politics...In Acker's...world, homeless people, masturbation, body piercing, and S&M are good; patriarchy, rationality, and morality are bad...Acker commands a drab vocabulary and limited range of discourse. Some nice sacrilegious images will please the armchair rebels among her readers."
