Kraus’s books include the epistolary novel I Love Dick, which since being republished in 2010 has achieved something like cult status – the book's themes of distanced obsession and the performance of a desiring self proving striking and immediate for a new generation of readers.

Chris Kraus is a filmmaker and the author of I Love Dick, Aliens & Anorexia and Summer of Hate, and co-editor of Hatred of Capitalism: A Semiotext(e) Reader. Index called her “one of the most subversive voices in American fiction.” Her work has been praised for its damning intelligence, vulnerability and dazzling speed.
