In Childlike Life she steps into the biography of a Mississippi murderess who falls in love with a famous lawyer. In I Dreamt I Was a Nymphomaniac she takes a man capable of deceiving both sexes as her lover in a dreamy odyssey through the labyrinth of her desires. In The Adult Life of Toulouse Lautrec is a woman starved for love and sex.All of Acker's obsessions -- the frenzy of sexual desire, the search for identity, the invention of a new literary language -- are present here with a savage purity and raw energy matched only rarely in her later works.
