Beschreibung
When Chris Kraus, an unsuccessful artist pushing 40, spends an evening with a rogue academic named Dick, she falls madly and inexplicably in love, enlisting her husband in her haunted pursuit. Dick proposes a kind of game between them, but when he fails to answer their letters Chris continues alone, transforming an adolescent infatuation into a new form of philosophy.
Blurring the lines of fiction, essay and memoir, Chris Kraus's novel was a literary sensation when it was first published in 1997. Widely considered to be the most important feminist novel of the past two decades, I Love Dick is still essential reading; as relevant, fierce and funny as ever.
Rezensionen
, Sheila Heti might never have asked
<i><u>How Should a Person Be?</u></i>, and Ben Lerner might never have written
<i><u>Leaving the Atocha Station</u></i>. A whole generation of writers owes her ... You can get high on the book's passion, its humour, on the creation of a still-fresh style that not only says new things about female experience, but is able simultaneously to comment, tongue-in-cheek, on how this experience has been written, filmed and made into art. Kraus writes with an elegance that includes enough rough edges to make
<i>I Love Dick</i> a game for real. -
A joyful riposte to all those stories in which clever women fall victim to the pressures of convention - from <i>The Yellow Wallpaper</i> to <i>The Bell Jar</i> and beyond - and also to the countless books by men in which women are crushed by romantic encounters: from <i>Madame Bovary</i> to <i>Anna Karenina</i> to Laclos's epistolatory <i>Les Liaisons Dangereuses</i> and André Breton's autofiction, <i>Nadja</i> ... What makes now the right moment to publish Kraus's debut novel for the first time in the UK, after 18 years? There is a hint of retrospective gratitude: without Kraus, we might not have had the philosophers in high heels of Zoe Pilger's <i>Eat My Heart Out</i>, or Susana Medina's <i>Philosophical Toys</i>. Without her challenge to what she called "the 'serious' contemporary hetero-male novel ... a thinly veiled Story of Me"

was first published in the US in 1997 and has become recognised as both an influential feminist text and a key intervention in the debate over where life-writing ends and fiction begins ... What remains so brilliant about the book is the real, useful thought that Kraus builds out of her romantic fantasy ... You can call it a novel, then, but it's as a philosophical and cultural critique that I Love Dick bites hardest.
This book comes with a reputation, though it's not the one you might expect from the title, which leaps from the gorgeous, faux-innocent cover. Chris Kraus's "novel"

A formidable novel of ideas
. In the last half a decade, women have been permitted to speak in a different way than before; women artists who use details of their own lives in their work are not as easily dismissed as they once were. The internet enables hordes of frightened, anonymous men to try to silence women via harassment and shaming, but it has also enabled our voices to be heard on a grander scale, with fewer intermediaries, than ever before. We are able to write our own letters to Dick now, and to publish them widely: to tell Dick exactly what we think of him, whether he likes it or not.This book will only become more relevant. Its time is now - and now, and now, for the rest of eternity.
This is the most important book written about men and women written in the last century... why is this revolutionary 18-year-old book finding its biggest audience only now? The answer lies in its own pages, when Kraus writes that "who gets to speak, and why, is the only question"

As important as <i>Mrs Dalloway </i>or <i>The Bell Jar</i>
The 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.
What <i>I Love Dick</i> is really about is chaotic female sexuality and the ethics of using your life in your work ... it is soaked in feminist rage

I Love Dick is a classic. Here pain is the aphrodisiac and distance is the muse. Unrequited love is transformed into a fascinating book of ideas.

The skill of the book allows the reader to enter into the fantasy (the one sex scene is torturous, but hot) while knowing it's destructive and one-sided.

Ever since I read <i>I Love Dick</i>, I have revered it as one of the most explosive, revealing, lacerating and unusual memoirs ever committed to the page ... <i>I Love Dick </i>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.
Tart, brazen and funny ... a cautionary tale, <i>I Love Dick</i> raises disturbing but compelling questions about female social behavior, power, control
