Algeria; A Series of Invocations Because Nothing Else Works
- London: Aloes Books, 1984
London: Aloes Books, 1984. First Edition. Octavo. 21cm. Publisher's original pink decorated card wraps. 29pp. Some minor creasing and scuffing to the edges and extremities, a touch of sunning around the spine area; internally clean. A very good copy.
A short piece originally published as a short form story entitled "Girl Gangs Take Over The World." Published immediately prior to "Blood and Guts in High School" often cited as Acker's breakthrough publication, "Algeria" is an intense introduction to Acker's speeding, lush, weird writing style where every event is bitter ammunition for an assault on comfort, complacency, and the things we hold taboo.
