Re: FLUXLIST: re Stewart Home--
Hi David-Babtiste, I agree that the Stewart Home books you mention are well worth the read. SLOW DEATH does have its brutal parts, but it is also funny in its descriptions of various other artists (it leaves you wondering which mail artists and others of that genre the characters were based on).

Was it Stewart Home who wrote The Night They Invented Shampoo and Beat Your Relatives to a Bloody Pulp, or am I thinking of someone else?

I love Stewart Home’s stuff. I’ve got various odds and ends and a very good book which I can’t find at the moment but I’ll have a hunt for. Or it might be Joe’s. He did a series of Smile magazines donkeys years ago which were excellent. Worth searching out. Try a search for Neoism.
