What can I say, I am a slow reader. I just finished the first 90 or so pages of Portrait of An Eye, which contain Acker's first novel, The Childlike Life of the Black Tarantula by The Black Tarantula. It was published in serial format in 1973. Acker would mail out the chapters one by one to a mailing list of friends and literary influences / influencers. It is stream of consciousness style writing.
