"My latest novel Pussy, King of the Pirates, takes two girls from an Egyptian whorehouse to an island where they fight with female pirates. It's loosely related to Robert Louis Stevenson's classic Treasure Island, and the whole idea was triggered after I saw a great Japanese film. In my book the characters enjoy themselves in a landscape that doubles for the female body." --Kathy Acker (from an interview by Jonathan Webster, in Internet , 18 May 1996).
