In Kathy Acker's Great Expectations, Acker combines rewritten sections from Charles Dickens Great Expectation and Pierre Guyotat Eden Eden Eden to create a book that attempts to solve the equation plagiarism + pornography = autobiography.
By combining and rewriting these Acker highlights sections of the books and questions the difference of the times and the act of plagiarism within this. Described as 'using postmodern form, Kathy Acker’s Great Expectations moves her narrator through time, gender, and identity as it examines our era’s cherished beliefs about life and art.'
