Together we have produced a wonderful editon of Lee Harwood’s Cable Street, those Wild Boys errata sheets and are currently working on a mini-mimeo booklet of some unpublished David Wojnarowicz story-sequences left out of the Sounds in the Distance collection.

I will be re-printing the Hardiment – Crowder material this year – there is going to be a vinyl re-issue of Call Me Burroughs from Viaduct Records and I guess some record buyers might like to read the bigger picture … they’ll be able to see it on the insert.

And I plan to produce my Wild Boys EBSN stand-up routine and the correction sheets as one item so that, hopefully, I can communicate how intriguing it was following the investigative threads of those changes.

And I entirely agree with you about how academia can be repressive – this is why the EBSN conferences are so innovative – they positively encourage contributions from outside the ivory towers – this years in Manchester will be fun – a Scientist and a DJ doing the Keynotes.

So anyone who wants this material as and when it appears – express and interest and I’ll put you on the list for when it comes out – and how much, if anything, it’ll be.

Finally:::: one small point re Pynchon – aloes was not involved in the The Mind Of Watts or Entropy … that was G…. S…. One of these days his name will out… in same way as FKN Ace of bootlegged Patti Smith Ha Ha Houdini fame will have to come crawling out from behind the rare pirate book shelves….

A dumpster diver bringing to the surface the most arcane fragments of Burrosicrucian research, a defective detective in the same league as Hauser and O’Brien. The Hardiment Suitcase is a classic of its kind. JP is a member in good standing of the real Academy. I salute him.
