''New York City is very peaceful and quiet, and the pale grey mists are slowly rising, to show me the world''

Pip switches identities, sexes and centuries in this punk, fairytale reimagining of Charles Dickens''s original Great Expectations. Both familiar and unfamiliar, our orphaned narrator is transplanted to New York City in the 1980s; becoming, by turns, a sailor, a pirate, a rebel and an outlaw, through adventures incorporating desire, creativity, porn, sadism and artThis ribald explosion of literature, sex and violence shows the literary anarchist Kathy Acker at her most brilliant and brave.
