Beschreibung
Aliens & Anorexia is Chris Kraus's second novel. Unfolding like a set of Chinese boxes, with storytelling and philosophy informing each other, the novel weaves together the lives of earnest visionaries and failed artists. Its characters include Simone Weil, the first radical philosopher of sadness; the artist Paul Thek; Kraus herself. A book that leaps effortlessly between autobiography, art criticism, philosophy and fiction.
