Publisher Description: Doghead Cola emerged via the 1990s 'zine scene, a sardonic scribe of the Rave generation's "Secret Society hidden in plain sight." Smith's Each Of Illusion compiles a hedonistic decade's worth of literary mashups, spanning Cola's slacker-incensed rants, MDMA-inspired fiction, cut-up inversions of divine nature, surrealist dream recall, and experimental explorations channeling the likes of William S. Burroughs, Brion Gysin, Gertrude Stein, and Tristan Tzara - all running at a frenetic House Music tempo. Caught somewhere between Post-Punk and Cyberpunk, between Andy Warhol and Ronald Reagan, between the Beat Hotel and Hypertext - Smith's Each Of Illusion harnesses that period's fringe culture and maps its subversive territories with stirring, riotous, and recurrently thought-provoking playfulness. Encyclopedic and epic, this compendium serves as something of a monomythic analog to the Rave Generation as Finnegans Wake did for the Lost Generation. |
