Chris, a failed artist approaching her fortieth birthday, spends an evening with a famous cultural theorist named Dick. Having fallen madly and inexplicably in love, Chris begins to write letters to him, involving her husband in this process. When Dick refuses to join the game, Chris continues to write, exploring the transformative power of first-person storytelling. First published in 1997, I Love Dick has gone through several waves of re-releases, reaching a wider audience in 2015. Blurring the boundaries between fiction and memoir, art criticism and travel writing, Chris Kraus takes the story of obsession to a philosophical level.
