I Love Dick
Book • 1997
In 'I Love Dick', Chris Kraus merges fiction and memoir formats to narrate her infatuation with 'Dick', a media theorist and sociologist.
The novel is written as a series of love letters that the author and her husband, Sylvère Lotringer, compose and sometimes co-write, even though they are not sent.
This work delves into themes of marriage, art, and the transformative power of first-person narrative, and it has been hailed as a 'cult feminist classic' and a key intervention in feminist literature.
The book is characterized by its blend of autobiography, experimentation, graphic sex, and intellectualism, marking a significant contribution to the autotheory genre.
