Abstract

en_US None of these pieces had appeared in print before. Many of them later appear in Aflame and Afun of Walking Faces (1970). By contrast with that book, there are no illustrations here. The last page adds some publication information, but I am not certain of its bearing. It speaks of a regular edition of 450 by Verlagsdruckerei Gebr. Tron KG in Karlsruhe-Durlach; it gives an address for Jonathan Williams in Highlands, NC; and it says that this book was designed by Williams and Patchen as Jargon 6. That all is more than I can cope with! And exactly that remark again fits my experience with this book, as it did my experience with the 1970 volume. If I get the merest inkling of what is going on in the short pieces here, I am happy. Perhaps I just cannot keep up with all the category shifts and jumps. The closest I come to sense occurs in pieces like He Didn't Know the Son Was Loaded (37) and The Number That Comes After Feve (91), but even there I am largely unsure of what I am reading. With regret I give up after having read only part of this book.
