Back in print for the first time this era is David Berman s Actual Air. Released in paperback in 1999 by the now-defunct Open City and praised everywhere in the then-ascendant print press industry, David Berman s first (and only) book of poetry is a journey though shared and unreliable memory. Features of the second edition are: new larger dimensions and enlarged typeface, new dustjacket artwork variant, deluxe cloth boards, and updated full-colour endpapers.
Musician, poet and cartoonist David Berman's first collection of illustrations.
The dedicated producers-cum-art-collective PFFR (Vernon Chatman, John Lee, Alyson Levy and Jim Tozzi) have been at large for what seems like we wish was forever. Their nightmare visions, as realized in Wonder Showzen, Xavier: Renegade Angel, Final Flesh and The Heart She Holler, to name less than a handful, have provided the world a stream of images that amount to no less than a cautionary tale - and a lot more, for those whole like to laugh and enjoy their sense of ambiguity shaken, not stirred. The images here made around the time they were spitballing the material that was going to become Wonder Showzen.
This reprinting of Korine''s first novel presents fragments of a portrait in multimedia: print, photographs, drawings, news clippings, handwriting, a poem, attempted diagrams, clip art; but mostly text, including hard-luck stories, off-and-on-colour jokes, script-scraps, found letters, free rhymes, drug flashbacks and other scenes, exploring the world of show-biz with feet set lightly in the black humours of the real ol'' world. This excretion of the danglers of public life would make William Burroughs sigh and turn the page, at least.
