E.M. Cioran - the trouble with being born
Wensley Clarkson - Vanessa portrait of evil
Martin Duberman - Andrea Dworkin: the feminist as revolutionary

Vanessa Place - you had to be there, Rape Jokes

Nice to see Cioran still being read.

Got really excited seeing the pictures of the first copies up on Twitter. Looking hefty indeed.

Waiting til December sucks.

Lionel Maunz Peter Sotos is now sold out from Amphetamine Sulphate, however Nine Banded Books may still have a handful of copies for sale. I've only ordered a single one for myself (at very short notice from 9BB) as I didn't get a reply from Philip re: buying multiples. Here's a picture of Lionel and Peter signing the books courtesy of Amphetamine Sulphate's Twitter.



Did anyone see/snag the signed manuscript of Tool. that was sold on eBay.com earlier this month? Listing here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/185073749842. Really wish I got a notification for that!

9BB still has copies.  I just ordered mine.

It looks like these are shipping already, at least from Amphetamine Sulfate.

[endors_toi]

Is that so?! How do you know?

I got mine from nine banded, international shipping... don't think it's going to be anytime near haha.

But, yeah, for the people who have any news whatsoever, please do share.

Phil has just been posting a few pics on his twitter of folks who have received copies (including someone in the UK); I was also emailing with Chip at Nine Banded over the weekend and it sounded like he was otw back from ATX, assuming his copies will start shipping soon.

When I ordered from 9BB, I received a notification from him that he will ship in early December.  But earlier would be great too!

[endors_toi]

Me too. I asked Chip if there's any chance it would be earlier, but he said most likely not. So FYI, anybody who ordered from nine banded.

According to 9BB Twitter, copies are being sent out:

any impressions so far? It's rapidly approaching on my "to read" pile. Utterly gorgeous presentation

[endors_toi]

It is, in fact, gorgeously, deliciously designed.

I am, however, 20 something pages in, and I'm underwhelmed by the text, which I didn't expect. It manages to both confuse me and make me feel kinda empty/unsatisfied at the same time.

But there are plenty more pages, and of course I will read it all. I wonder how other people are feeling, cause so far the only mentions of it I saw online are about the art/design of the book.

Still waiting on my copy from 9BB. In the meantime, Dennis Cooper's Blog has a spotlight on the book with page excerpts and the collected photos of all of Peter and Lionel's respective inspirations that were shared through social media: https://denniscooperblog.com/please-welcome-to-the-world-lionel-maunz-peter-sotos-amphetamine-sulphate-nine-banded-books/

If anyone didn't get Peter's previous book Ingratitude, hit me up as I have a couple of copies squirreled away that I may be willing to sell for the right price. I see that one sold on eBay recently for just shy of $300 - impressive!

Still underwhelmed? I found it pretty good. Not as good as "the early stuff" but still pretty good. Ignoring the somewhat bland art of Maunz, the text is classic recent Sotos. Maybe not as good as Ingratitude, but close.
