ACKER, Kathy. I Dreamt I Became a Nymphomaniac! :Imagining. San Francisco: Empty Elevator Shaft Poetry Press / musicmusic Corporation. 1974.

Six vols, 8vo. Original white and cream wrappers, stapled as issued, front covers lettered in purple (vol. I) and black (vols III–VI), front cover of vol. II blank; housed in a custom-made grey card box; continuous pagination throughout, vol. I entirely printed in purple; some light wear to covers, slight spotting to top edge of text block in vols V and VI; near fine.

First edition, a particularly attractive copy, of Acker’s second published novel, issued in six separate parts in limited numbers.

A central figure in the New York literary avant-garde of the 1970s, Kathy Acker developed a transgressive feminist voice that challenged conventional narrative forms. I Dreamt I Became a Nymphomaniac!, loosely based on her own experiences, employs her characteristic fragmentary prose to explore the desires and inner life of its first-person narrator.

The work was first issued in 1974 in six separate volumes, and appeared in a single-volume edition in 1980. Only the first two volumes are explicitly attributed to Acker: the third is credited on the front cover to the composer and experimental musician Peter Gordon (whom she married in 1978), while the back cover bears the copyright name “The Black Tarantula”, one of her pseudonyms.

Comfortable fit for slip-in fabric shoes
Size: 14, Color: Black/Black
My first experience with Marc Joseph. I typically purchase dress and casual work shoes from Florsheim and occasionally Rockport. I'm giving these four stars because the initial fit and feel appear solid. Depending on the shoe brand I wear a size 14 or 15. My feet are slightly wide but I don't alway need wide fit. These size 14 fit well with wide enough toe box. I've tried slip in shoes before and they just don't feel right. These somehow work and there is no heel slip. My only reservation is the high lip on the heel for slip-in and hope they dont catch pant hems. I gave 4 stars because I'll have to determine durability. Granted they are a light fabric shoe with a soft rubber tread. I'd like them to last for at least 6 months..and use them for business casual work wear during warm weather.
