I LOVE DICK

Book ID/图书代码： 11701215B84877

English Summary/英文概要： In I Love Dick, published in 1997, Chris Kraus, author of Aliens & Anorexia, Torpor, and Video Green, boldly tore away the veil that separates fiction from reality and privacy from self-expression. It’s no wonder that I Love Dick instantly elicited violent controversies and attracted a host of passionate admirers. The story is gripping enough: in 1994 a married, failed independent filmmaker, turning forty, falls in love with a well-known theorist and endeavors to seduce him with the help of her husband. But when the theorist refuses to answer her letters, the husband and wife continue the correspondence for each other instead, imagining the fling the wife wishes to have with Dick. What follows is a breathless pursuit that takes the woman across America and away from her husband;and far beyond her original infatuation into a discovery of the transformative power of first person narrative. I Love Dick is a manifesto for a new kind of feminist who isn’t afraid to burn through her own narcissism in order to assume responsibility for herself and for all the injustice in world;and it’s a book you won’t put down until the author’s final, heroic acts of self-revelation and transformation.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 本书首次发表于1997年，作者Chris Kraus大胆地打开了小说与现实、隐私和自我表达之间的隔阂。可以想见，本书立即引起激烈的争议，也吸引了许多热情的崇拜者。本书的情节相当扣人心弦：在1994年，一个快要四十岁的、失败的已婚独立制片人爱上了一个著名的理论家，并在自己丈夫的帮助下努力勾引他。但是，理论家拒绝回复她的信件。丈夫和妻子于是继续给互相写信，想象妻子将如何与Dick展开这一段不伦之恋。接下来的一段以第一人称写成，是一个女人跨越整个美国展开一场激烈的追求，她离开自己的丈夫，痴情最终升华成为变革的力量。本书是一个全新的女权主义者宣言，她谁也不怕，甚至能够跨越自恋的界限，承担自己和世界上所有的不公。(LYR)

Awards/获奖情况：对于这类作品，我最喜欢的代表作是一部近20年前的作品，而且是女人写的。Chris Kraus的《我爱Dick》中描写了一个名叫Chris Kraus的女人如何回顾她对于文化评论家Dick的爱情和迷恋——是的她也是个实验电影制片人，和作者一样。自述的部分充分探索了被动、不足、欲望（是的，欲望，我觉得其实她并不缺乏欲望，不过将欲望看作是多余的能量，对之持着与生育来的恐惧）、以及无懈追求浪漫，不是那种自卑的恋爱，而是将爱看作一种创造性的行为。《Leslie Jamison，纽约时报》

二十世纪后期文学作品中的一部杰作。《East Hampton Star》

A clever, finely crafted crossover between life, love and cultural studies. -- Peter Beilharz The Australian But my favorite example of the genre is from nearly 20 years ago, and it’s by a woman. Chris Kraus’s "I Love Dick" offers the story of a woman named Chris Kraus -- also an experimental filmmaker, just like the author -- reckoning with her unrequited love for "Dick ____," a cultural critic with whom she becomes obsessed. The narrative is an exploration of desire as something other than passivity or inadequacy ("I think desire isn’t lack, it’s surplus energy -- a claustrophobia inside your skin") and relentless romantic pursuit not as self-degradation but a kind of generative, creative act. -- Leslie Jamison The New York Times A little masterpiece of late twenieth century literature. East Hampton Star Devastatingly funny and sublime... a new classic. The Seattle Stranger Ever since I read I Love Dick, I have revered it as one of the most explosive, revealing, lacerating, and unusual memoirs ever committed to the page... I Love Dick is never a comfortable read, and it is by turns exasperating, horrifying, and lurid, but it is never less than genuine, and often completely illuminating about the life of the mind. -- Rick Moody Post Road Tart, brazen and funny... a cautionary tale, I Love Dick raises disturbing but compelling questions about female social behavior, power, control. The Nation The biggest art revelation of the year. The New Zealand Listener Unexpectedly riveting. BookForum

“I know there was a time before I read Chris Kraus’s I LOVE DICK…but it’s hard to imagine; some works of art do this to you. They tear down so many assumptions about what the form can handle … that there is no way to re-create your mind before your encounter with them” Sheila Heti

“I was nearly two decades late to the party…but I loved the party anyway…white hot” Leslie Jamieson

“one of the most explosive, revealing, lacerating and unusual memoirs ever committed to the page…never less than genuine, and often completely illuminating about the life of the mind” Rick Moody
