Obsessed with Mountainhead, really great writer. Does anyone have the pdf's of his older work or know where to get them?

He says on his website that the early writings (formerly available as PDFs--they must be somewhere, I guess) will be expanded and rereleased, presumably as physical books.

I wrote a treatise on New Juche at the beginning of this year: https://apocalypse-confidential.com/2022/01/14/new-juche-abjection-location-prostitution-and-the-unmasking-of-western-culture/

A lot of the titles are still in print I believe. Support the author and buy. The books are not that expensive.

His earliest works were only available as PDFs - presumably set now to be published in print? I give all his stuff the highest recommendation but the published and currently available titles from 9bb, AS, etc. are his greatest works.

Gateavisa 202 has arrived in the mail from Norway! It's an excellent book all-in-all but wanted to mention that an excerpt of New Juche's "Alehoof" which has yet to published was included and it is good. Gets somehow more personal, mentioning his wife, the village he actually resides in, and his personal financials. As always, some good stuff describing the scenery and those intimate moments with strangers and the cultural elements of the region at play. Includes some collage work and a poster. It took a little DMING but copies are still for sale in the U.S for $28 shipping included (https://www.instagram.com/gateavisa/)

It also includes an excerpt of The Worm, for those who missed their copy.

Looks like "HEAT DEATH - ISSUE 2: BORGO LAPSUS" was just made available with no announcement, along with a reprint of the first mag. Head to gallowsfruit asap.

Very excited!

Just as a quick note, I wouldn't use the provided link through Instagram for ordering Gateavisa 202 as seemingly the email address for payment no longer works - I've been waiting for a month for any update and just claimed a refund through PayPal. No response to a direct message I sent through their Instagram too. If anyone has a link for ordering it elsewhere, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for saving everyone else the trouble. Haven't ordered from this other person before but they are reputable, they distributed his first book I'm pretty sure (which just came in the mail and I'm super excited to make a post about it). Pretty sure you just email 'em.

Finally got around to reading this, and no surprise, I love it.

I feel like this short piece gives the reader a taste of so many different aspects of his writing, which are focused on to different degrees in different books. Similar to The Devils, he is somehow able to make a place feel like a live organism, mapping roads down to the veins or representing one's body with footpaths all going in separate directions, from the first paragraph. Later on, you get the historical context needed, stuff anthropologists/sociologists find essential to know. But he is not just any researcher; there is that typical feeling when reading him that you've just stumbled upon a social scientist's journal where he keeps his most unethical notions and that if he had not written them down, he would not be able to ignore them, and he would eventually lose his position that grants him the privilege to study, with justifiable/acceptable cause, the poverty, violence, exploitation, and ecology/architecture that he feels so (we'll just say) strongly about. Additionally, it is quite cool to see him addressing his academic life so directly in his New Juche writings, going so far as to mention professors and fellow researchers he is walking with. You have the suspiciously neutral regard for and ever so subtly erotic descriptions of institutional/historical violence, similar to Bosun or The Worm. The generational struggle it has created; the rags people are left in after expenses have been paid with all of their meager wages and horrible loans and them waiting in doorways in the hot sun for something to happen; and him watching them and him loving them. I do not pretend to understand New Juche's erotic fascination with the blend of history/time/place/architecture/economy/body use/etc., but nevertheless, as always, when he slips into those descriptions of subtle triggers that turn into some kind of ecstasy, it is surprising and beautiful, forming an autotheory of pornographic appreciation/prurience and genuine empathy for seemingly everyone and everything around him, a genuine, true, not harmful, love. This love is what I think enables him to treat people he is researching in an academic context with respect, dignity, and professionalism. Nevertheless, when he slips into these moments, you feel him being pulled apart and losing himself in this moral private/public contradiction; it is truly hypnotic the way he portrays his own hypnosis with his surroundings. Not to mention the graphic descriptions of his body and its ailments remind me of those two pages describing the horrific discolored nature of his rectum in Mountainhead. Overall, an excellent short display of his style and skill. Thanks for sharing! I will keep my eye on this journal till it ends.

P.S: In case anyone missed it, per their Instagram, Infinity Land Press will be starting a yearly series of New Juche's older unprinted/OOP works along with new material in "beautiful and affordable soft-cover volumes."
