Re: The Further Adventures of Nothing at All
well, i just went through the stacks, and i guess i sold it. the closest thing i could find was Ballantine paperback 23894, a novelisation of Sol Fried's 'film' _Super ManChu: Master of Kung Fu_ by Sean Mei Sullivan with an introduction by Bong Soo Han.. you're welcome to it, if'n ya want. it's mebbe kind of a proto-flarf ancestor, maybe like Lautreamont was to the surrealists. the complete title is SUPER COOL SUPER QUICK SUPER DEADLY Super ManChu: Master of Kung Fu. I like the idea of incorporating Sax Rohmer. Burroughs makes a passing snipe in one of his spoken texts. the insidious racist trash of Sax Rohmer or some such, but i think there was a context there that's gone. almost seems like a form of 'irenics' to juice these old exploitave wards, a form of forgiving maybe like in South Africa. I'm not sure everyone would agree. At any rate, I thought you'd get a kick out of the authors' names on this one. A Sullivan. Sol Fried? what a name! and Bong Soo Han! got to be the best writer name ever. great poem Allen.. lq - Original Message - From: Allen Bramhall [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: WRYTING-L@LISTSERV.WVU.EDU Sent: Friday, November 17, 2006 5:57 AM Subject: Re: The Further Adventures of Nothing at All Lanny Quarles wrote: what artist could he be in the end, trying to outlast green underpants? what a great line. i've got a bagged edition of I think Fu Manchu's Daughter if you want it.
