Book Description

March 18, 2005
Mind Crash sets out to explore the deepest recesses of the human psyche through the utilization of several, quite often brutal, language exploration techniques.

The results, a seemingly random collection of metaphysical short stories, cut-ups, koans, poems and automatic writing, are often as unsettling as they are darkly humorous.

Whilst employing these frequently painful mental gymnastic routines, the author unwittingly unleashes, and subsequently exorcises, a number of allegorical demons.

Do not forget to bolt your windows whilst reading it!

- - -

Mind Crash originally started life as a series of sporadic newsletters, available through subscription only, to a selective band of cultural mischief-makers dotted around the USA, Europe and Japan.

These long-since out of print works, together with previously unpublished pieces, have now been composed into a single volume for the very first time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Monkeys and Typewriters, April 20, 2005
By 
This review is from: Mind Crash: (A poke in the third eye with a sharp stick) (Paperback)
Someone once said something along the lines of "given enough time and a typewriter, an infinite number of monkeys will produce the complete works of Shakespeare". Well if you reduced the number of monkeys to a manageable level (think of the noise, for chrisakes!), threw in some LSD and a ouija board, I'm sure the results would be similar to Mind Crash!

When I first read this, I wasn't sure if perhaps the book had the wrong jacket on it, as it didn't initially seem to resemble the description. But when I read it again. And again, it all kind of fell into place.

Although it initially felt sinister and edgy, upon re-reading, it did somehow feel quite enlightening and uplifting.

The nearest comparison I can make is: If you took the Philosophical works of Alan Watts, and then applied the Burroughs/Gysin cut-up technique, the results would be similar.

Well worth a read - it might even change your life!
