"'Florida' is a short story, written between the trilogy [see Portrait of an Eye ] and Haiti. I used to have a severe, chronic infection. During one bout of the infection, the usual three weeks in bed, I had a strong, undeniable urge to read the script for Key Largo. Such a script was not to be found, at least by me in my bed. So I did the next best thing, I wrote this script according to my memory. A memory of holes, like those landscapes I love the most. Landscapes of identity. Some of my friends and I performed this story or script at The Kitchen in New York City. I remember that Laurie Anderson played the Lauren Bacall role, by candlelight, and she was superb..." --Kathy Acker (in the introduction, UK pbk, 1988).
