ISBN: 9783941126121
Ostheim/ Rohn, Germany: Peter Engstler Verlag, 2011. First Edition Thus. Softcover. The first German-language edition of the now-classic compendium of cut-up writings & collages by Claude Pelieu (1934-2002), the great French Avant Garde Beat-&-Beyond writer-artist who published prolifically, often in collaboration with or inspired by his wife Mary Beach, William S. Burroughs, Charles Plymell & many others. Plymell's wife, Pamela Beach Plymell, is Mary Beach's daughter, & therefore the Plymells were related to Pelieu as step-son-&-daughter-in-laws. Originally issued in France, in French language, during 1974; & in English by the acclaimed Bottle of Smoke Press in 2012. At the end of this edition, Plymell, the legendary poet, printer, publisher & all-out Literary Outlaw to whom this volume is dedicated along with Lee Crabtree, has provided a lengthy afterword. All text in German (except for some English phrases in collage reproductions). Softcover original. An important work in the cut-up tradition as pioneered & exemplified by WSB & his cohorts such as Pelieu; in a rare form for the dedicated collector. In very fine condition with only slightest rubbing to front, back covers & spine; very light wear & a few tiny bumps at edges & corners of same. Interior very fine with only tiny bumps at upper corners of a few page leaves. Very Fine. [Item #3503]
