SPILT INK... Book 2
One
of the boldest claims made for the punk writing movement is that it produced
works of a startling new kind of fiction esthetic. But since the punk writers
used extremely advanced computer hardware and software in their writing,
there is also reason to ask whether the uniqueness of their style flowed
from imagination or microprocessor chips. Literary
scholar Thomas Naughton confronts both these issues head on in Post-Mortem
on Punk. He begins with a carefully researched summary of what is known
about the punks, their technology, and their culture. Then he introduces
us to the four phases of punk writing itself—from the screaming invective
of early punk fiction to the enigmatic lamentations of Late Punk. Along
the way he assesses the talents of punk stars like Johnny Dodge, Cadillac
Mope, Ripp Starr, and The Epissiles.The book can be printed out fully formatted
