  Katerine "Kit" Tanner has survived a year without her mother. With her sister, Rae's help, she tries to move on with her life. She goes back to school; she moves into a new apartment building; and she meets a fantastic woman named Hailee Quinn who is part of a queer improv group on campus. When Hailee invites Kit along for some fast laughs, it should be an easy decision to change her life and open her heart again.
  
  
  The problem? Hailee is a bit too much for Kit. Tall, loud, and smart as a whip, Hailee Quinn has is a smarty pants extraordinaire -- but she comes by it honestly. A childhood stutter, plus her bisexuality, means she spends a lot of time feeling erased. Now she's determined to not let that happen ever again.
  
  
  Can both of these strong, hard-headed women put their past behind them and fall in love? Or will they only be able to share jokes -- and bad ones, at that -- while their friends' lives bloom around them?

  Literal Madness - 3 Novels:...

  A collection of three novels from the experimental feminist writer: “Literal Madness is Acker at her most powerful, disturbing, and provocative.” —Catherine Texier, author of Victorine 
   
  Kathy Goes to Haiti, the first of three novels in Literal Madness, “speaks to us out of a delightful mock-naivete that reminds one at times of the Dick and Jane readers rewritten as manuals for politics and sex . . . At once hilarious and terrifying, [it] has all the logic of a Caribbean tour and a nightmare combined” (Los Angeles Times). 
   
  My Death My Life by Pier Paolo Pasolini—wherein, among other things, the late Italian filmmaker solves his own murder, with the help of, among others, Romeo, Juliet, and the Bronté sisters—is a “scathing commentary on false values in art” (The Hartford Courant). 
   
  In the haunting Florida, Acker achieves “a nearly telegraphic reduction of the Bogart-Bacall movie Key Largo to fatalistic, tough-guy essentials” (Booklist). 
   
  “There’s a haunting method to Acker’s ‘madness’: a rough, raw, erudite wail against the postmodern loss of meaning and emotion.” —Kirkus Reviews

  At the age of ninety-six, Isaac Dahl sits down to write his memoir. For Isaac, an accomplished journalist and historian, finding the right words to convey events is never a problem. But this book will be different from anything he has written before. Focusing on twelve different days, each encapsulated in a chapter, Isaac hopes to distill the very essence of his life. 
   
   
   
  There are days that begin like any other, only to morph through twists of fate. An avalanche strikes Bingham, Utah, and eight-year-old Isaac and his twin sister, Agnes, survive when they are trapped in an upside-down bathtub. Other days stand apart in history—including a day in 1942, when Isaac, stationed on the USS Houston in the Java Sea as a rookie correspondent, confronts the full horror of war. And there are days spent simply, with his lifelong friend, Bo, or with Danny, the younger man whose love transforms Isaac's later years. 
   
   
   
  From the Oklahoma Dust Bowl to a Mississippi school at the apex of the civil rights movement, Isaac tells his story with insight, wisdom, and emotional depth. The Very Long, Very Strange Life of Isaac Dahl is a wonderful, singular narrative that will spark conversation and reflection—a reminder that there is no such thing as an ordinary life, and the greatest accomplishment of all is to live and love fully.
