Scope and Contents

This book documents the correspondence between Hamady and Wilde in the form of repoducing 1159 letters reset in type. The two corresponents address themselves in profanity-laced salutations throughout their humorous letters to each other. It is the in the ninth book collaboration between Hamady and Wilde from 1971 and 2000. Hamady writes of the correspondence, "As a segmented evolution, with no determined destination other than the voyage itself, this text and what it represents, could, conceivably, cause a certain difficult affliction to those who preacertain a preference for plot or conclusion...Also the many aliases usually forged from specificities in the lacunae of text will obfusk the identity of who wrote what. Since these writers seem not to care why should anyone else?" -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
