:D Allegedly receiving my copy of this in the next week or so, very much looking forward to reading (am going through ‘Rub Out the Words’ again as preparation)…

:) Sincere thanks to Reality Studio for all your great work! Not forgetting Oliver Harris also.

Im currently reading this – though am i wrong in thinking some of this material has appeared in other places throughout the years? Im specifically thinking of V.Vale’s Re/search issue on Burroughs Gysin and Throbbing Gristle — speaking of which it is clear reading this text how much that Fraudstar Dog Rat Genesis P – Orridge has stolen from Burroughs Gysin and every other mark out there. Thee Church of Thee Con .
So my question is where can i disguss this book other books beat books i love to beat my beat books with my big meat huck.
The footnotes are very detailed in depth inciteful but they dont so far up to where i am silly me always want it right now need it when i want it or i dont want no more // but Thee things like this : . Looks familiae like crowley A .
Bye Thee Weight said somethink indro about the antisemitism and other weird shite it does go beyond a joke to sickening to borrow to hilarious again and see silly little me reading a pamphlet or maybe an internet conspiracy progrom — some guy giving an into view in what look like a rec centre propper convinced me Mossad was behind 9/11 i do not give a shit if americans die pigs infidels whores of babylon but here i was buyin there shit gimick takin it right up the arsehole
Whyy vos i so silly
I was angry and psyychote alone www dote the wrong phone it calls the cops on me and MI5 they teased me or someone teased me

This title, out of the Moloko three, is the most invigorating piece of Interzone for years. My immediate observations are:
1) having done remedial work on an Underwood 5 (the typer Burroughs most probably used for these texts) I can tell you the machine works more fluently in Shift Lock CAPS.
2) the Mao quote: “ENEMY ADVANCE WE RETREAT. …” is not from “The Quotations of Chairman Mao” {aka The Little Red Book}…. It is a sloganising from Mao’s 1937 “On Guerilla Warfare” The closest I have got to such a sloganing is a Californian newspaper called the Lodi News-Sentinel and dated December 15 1959. Quite how such a piece of newsprint would turn up in the Beat Hotel who knows. But maybe the report was syndicated (Paris Herald Tribune?) …
I’ll post the relevant clips up on the Burroughs & Associates FB page …
must dash now: I’m meeting Bill in the foyer of a Paris cinema where they are showing a film of The Vagabond King – featuring a range of knights in bulging tights….

I do not have a copy of my catalogue v with ticker tape but need to see the text part with reference to Madame Chiang Kai Shek – she lord of time. Gary could you send me the sequence with that reference. Odd that the other recordings online of the work all exclude references to her as well as much else.

My copy arrived this morning.

I’m working my way through Oliver’s Introduction, which is extensive and deep.

Based on the reproduction of texts from the book and that shown here in the review, I am quite intrigued by what awaits me when I finish my first reading of the Introduction.

I expect it to be as exciting as the Hardiment project from Jim Pennington.

Richard Aaron: “Peculiar no mention of Am Here recording and printing…”

VERY peculiar.

In my experience, the AM HERE vinyl recording was initially included as part of an astonishing AM HERE books catalogue of works by important contemporary authors.

With appreciation, I continue to listen to the track on a regular basis.

The recording’s importance is worthy of the highest respect, and my gratitude to Richard is eternal.

Peculiar no mention of Am Here recording and printing – delighted the text is being amplified.
