About the book: 2021 / Kathy Acker and Mackenzie Wark met in 1995 during Acker's tour of Australia. A fleeting romance began between them, and then a two-week excited correspondence. Their emails contain glimpses of epiphanies, rumors, sex and reflections on culture. They write in a frenzy, several times a day. Their letters meet somewhere on the date line, becoming the object of analysis themselves. The result of these letters is a catalog of how two extraordinary writers seduce each other across 7,500 miles of airspace, involving Alfred Hitchcock, stuffed animals, Georges Bataille, Elvis Presley, phenomenology, Marxism, The X-Files, psychoanalysis and The Book of Changes. Their correspondence is Plato's Symposium for the 21st century, written for queer people, nerds, and book geeks. “I like you very much” - the text of origin, the text of the beginning, notes on a short joint journey of two icons of our time.
