Who's Afraid of Kathy Acker?


Outfest, Los angeles' annual GLBT film fest is underway.

Our first screening was "Who's Afraid of Kathy Acker". Check out this engaging documentary!

Kathy Acker was a controversial experimental novelist and postmodernist sex-positive feminist writer. Her radical ideas continue to resonate through the culture and inspire artists and writers all over the world.

It was great to see an appreciation of her after all these years. She died of complications of Breast cancer in 1997.
