Man from Nowhere / Ambrose, Joe ; Wilson, Jerry ; Rynne, Frank ; Burroughs WS ; Gysin B., 1992

 Item
Identifier: CC-26598-27067
Scope and Contents Topic deals with the work of Burroughs and Gysin. This bok is stored in the Burroughs box.Internet: William Burroughs and Brion Gysin blazed a trail of wild experimentation across the Twentieth Century. Their Cut Up Method changed the course of modern fiction and had a profound effect on film and rock music. Iggy Pop, David Bowie, Keith Richards, Genesis P Orridge, and Patti Smith are just some of their musical disciples. Their obsession with the wild heretical actions of Hassan I Sabbah bear witness to their truly rebellious nature. Their love of the Joujouka panic music was total. They challenged conventional notions of morality and paid no attention to the rules of society. This is the only study of the artistic collaborations between these two good friends. It was written by me, Frank Rynne, and Terry Wilson. Frank and I met Terry at a Notting Hill Arts Gallery early in 1992 - by the end of the year we were exhibiting Gysin, Hamri, and Burroughs paintings at the Project Arts...

Miss America / Stern, Howard ; Kidd C., 1995

 Item
Identifier: CC-03052-3097
Scope and Contents

Steven Heller in the NY Times Book Review writes that the "book's design, a complex melange of typographic hierarchies...a remarkable display of deconstructive, post-structural, post-modern experimentation - or words that explode across the page... Miss America owes a distinct debt to Apollinaire's Il Pleut, Marinetti's Zang Tumb Tumb and McLuhan's Medium... Unfortunately, Miss A. really doesn't go as far...while the design screams and shouts...actually pretty timid." It is profusely illustrated. This a first edition, first printing. Chip Kidd designed this book. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Mobile: Study for a Representation of the United States / Butor, Michel ; Richard Howard, translator., 1963

 Item
Identifier: CC-21069-21478
Scope and Contents This is the first American edition of this book.eNotes internet summary: "Mobile: Study for the Representation of the United States has fifty chapters, and each chapter is more or less devoted to a different state, in alphabetical order, of the United States. The novel does not tell a story or relate a sequence of events. Instead, the disjointed details, mostly about small-town America, consist of information usually found in history books, atlases, encyclopedias, tourist brochures, and Howard Johnson menus. Some continuity is provided by a series of repetitions which are designed to illustrate the scope and diversity of the United States. For example, the first chapter is entitled "pitch dark in CORDOVA, ALABAMA, the Deep South" and that is all. The first word is not capitalized, nor is there a period at the end. The second chapter reads "pitch dark in CORDOVA, ALASKA, the Far North" and continues with a brief, nightmarish description of the land around Cordova. With no apparent...
