Kathy Acker recommends
Cows (1998)
(Little House on the Bowery, book 1)
Matthew Stokoe
"Stokoe's vision of Hell is a carnivore's nightmare. A powerful and all too possibly prophetic work."
Dirty Weekend (1991)
Helen Zahavi
"Above all, Dirty Weekend is a novel composed of language so gorgeous, so precise and witty, that I found myself laughing and thought, I should be crying instead. Nothing pleases me more than to be surprised into consciousness."
