Well, I think writing is basically about time and rhythm. Like with jazz. You have your basic melody and then you just riff off of it. And the riffs are about timing.
Kathy Acker (née Karen Lehmann) (18 April 1947 – 30 November 1997) was an American experimental novelist, prose stylist, playwright, essayist, postmodernist and sex-positive feminist writer. She was strongly influenced by the Black Mountain School, William S. Burroughs, David Antin, French critical theory, philosophy, and pornography.
Don Quixote: Which Was a Dream 1986. Her best work imo. A modern take on Cervantes. A whirlwind of dreams, cut up prose and references from Burroughs, punk culture, gender issues and modern life to politics and porn.
A good essay on Don Quixote can be found at Rhizomes
I read it some 20 years ago and just found it on my bookshelf while looking for something else.
