A fascinating and much overlooked magazine founded and edited by Latin American leftist intellectuals including Bolivar Echeverria, Guy Rozat, Manuel Lavaniegos, Rafael Segovia, and Alan Arias. The journal is inflected with a darkly humorous and subversive spirit, leavening new Spanish-language translations of George Bataille, Ernst Bloch, Rudi Dutschke, and Max Horkheimer with original articles and works of graphic art by members of the Palos circle. Echeverria has remarked that the Palos collective sought to use the serial as a platform for cultural resistance in Latin America, in the search for an "alternative modernity, that is, a non-capitalist modernity." International collaborators and friends cited in the masthead include Henri Lefebvre, Armin Shoenberger, Luis Gómez, Michele Alban, Esther… Read More

70 pp. collection of stories, illustrated throughout. 8vo. [Accent of California International Writers Series, 2] Very good. Illus. stiff wraps. [1406]
The Kentucky-born, Los Angeleno author's debut short story collection, including "The Price of Dirt," "The Way of Shadows," "In the Dark," "Waiting for Mongo," and "Roman Times," which won the Gwendolyn Brooks Literary Award in 1972. In his preface to the work, Jones explains that "most of the stories in this collection employ modern literary techniques as diverse as impressionism and surrealism, and especially important is the experimental synthesis of fantasy/realism. Myths and mythical notions, for example, are sometimes utilized in a campy fashion. Black field hand dialect might end up in the mouths of the most educated aristocrats. Nevertheless, all of this is not only plausible and appropriate to the situation, but also creates effects which are organically natural to the stories in this book. THE PRICE OF DIRT is the collected stories of a… Read More

"Politically too there was lots going on - Proper Gander documented all this - and many of the main players in the music scene were regular contributors. Between 1980 and 1985 we produced twenty issues...We were the Socialist Republic of South Yorkshire. We had dirt cheap public transport, workers coops and David Blunkett leading the revolution! We didn't take any notice of… Read More

An excellent copy, obtained directly from flat file storage by the exhibition curator, Marc Miller. Minor mar-ginal toning, else near fine.
