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.

Wobbly
Color: Grey
Wobbly and the metal bars keep coming off. Be aware. I’ve tripped over them. Be careful.

Good for a quick backdrop
This works well for what I needed – a simple background for my kids’ online school. It’s lightweight and very easy to put together, and it stands up fine without needing to mount anything. The color is listed as black, but it’s more of a dark gray in person. Not a huge deal, just something to be aware of. It’s not super heavy duty, but it does the job for privacy and as a video backdrop. Overall, a good, portable divider that’s quick to set up and works well for light use.
