piltdownworship's review against another edition
4.0
I will not coexist with flies. Flesh withdrawal consciously experienced. Woke up in other flesh / the lookout different. Image is time. Time is radioactive silver paper in the wind-frayed sounds of a distant city. Echoes of nothing whispered back. Not much time left. All the dying eyes of the world, this area of terminal calm. Nothing here now-Stone silence of ending earth. Exploded star between us. A man is what he eats... Old cannibal proverb. Agony to breathe in the mutilated phantom ore from Dream mine. The diseased of the world sprawl in a vast rubbish heap / pictures creating a low pressure area to draw the winds of past time / old human voices erased out against the frayed stars / jackals howling across the deserts of thyme / making time run backward again. I am tired of sitting behind the lines with an imperfect recording device receiving inaccurate bulletins... I must reach the Front.

fletchorama's review against another edition

An anthology of shorter works written and published throughout the 60s and 70s. The first grouping seems to have been drawn from the same word hoard as his novels, both past and future. The second grouping had some of my favourite pieces, including an explication of his three columns of text experiments ('The Moving Times'). Includes pages from his incredible cut-up scrapbooks.
