ACKER, Kathy
Pussy, King of the Pirates

Loosely related to Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic Treasure Island, Kathy Acker’s Pussy, King of the Pirates is a grrrl pirate story that journeys from the most famous whorehouse in Alexandria though 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.
