Books by Chris Kraus

The cult novel adored by feminists and fashionistas alike, now in paperback.

The searing sequel to Chris Kraus's bestselling cult classic I Love Dick.

Chris, en eksperimenterende filminstruktør på næsten 40, forelsker sig øjeblikkeligt og uopretteligt i sin 56-årige akademikermands yngre kollega Dick. Chris indvier manden Sylvère i sin voldsomme betagelse, og idéen om en slags kunstprojekt med Dick i centrum opstår. Fra hver sin position går parret sammen i gang med at skrive kærlighedsbreve til objektet Dick. Chris er i sin erotiske besættelse kreativt forløst som aldrig før, men pludselig befinder hun sig i spidsen af et altopslugende trekantsdrama, der udfordrer og truer hele hendes livsforståelse. I LOVE DICK er en afsindig vittig, selvironisk og tåkrummende roman om desperat forelskelse og en radikal og yderst konkret kunstnerisk afsøgning af størrelser som begær og patriarkat. ”Den bedste bog, der er skrevet om mænd og kvinder i det 20. århundrede.” The Guardian

The European bestseller, an epic of two brothers, brought together and divided by betrayal, secrecy and self-delusion, spanning seventy years of German history: from the Russian Revolution, to World War II, to 1975.

A savagely ironic portrait of a couple's failing marriage set in early 90s Europe, offering fierce and timeless reflections on love, identity and desire.

Video Green examines the explosion of late 1990s Los Angeles art driven by high-profile graduate programs.Video Green examines the explosion of late 1990s Los Angeles art driven by high-profile graduate programs. Probing the surface of art-critical buzzwords, Chris Kraus brilliantly chronicles how the City of Angels has suddenly become the epicenter of the international art world and a microcosm of the larger culture. Why is Los Angeles so completely divorced from other realities of the city? Shrewd, analytic and witty, Video Green is to the Los Angeles art world what Roland Barthes' Mythologies were to the society of the spectacle: the live autopsy of a ghost city.
