New York-born Kathy Acker (1947-97) was an experimental novelist, playwright, essayist, and postmodernist writer, known for her idiosyncratic and transgressive writing that dealt with themes such as childhood trauma, sexuality and rebellion. At 18, she left home and worked as a stripper. Her involvement in the sex industry led to connections with the NY art scene. Following two short-lived marriages, she moved to London in the mid-eighties and stayed in Britain for five years.
The Walking Wounded Series is an erratic beast. Titles will be released in sporadic bursts over the coming years. 53 titles by 53 different authors, in an edition of 53 numbered copies each. Up until 2023, any copies left unsold after 9 months (from date of issue) were ceremonially burned and the ashes scattered into the River Wandle in south London. Now remaining copies suffer one of the following fates: gifted, buried, drowned, burned or intentionally left in public houses or on buses/trains, as the publisher sees fit.
Limited edition, signed chapbooks, all handsewn, embossed and printed at the Sick Tangerine workshop.
