4.0 out of 5 stars A weird journey, well worth the effort, May 13, 2000
This review is from: Popular Alienation: A Steamshovel Press Reader (Paperback)
Basically a collection of issues of _Steamshovel Press_, that bastion of bizarre conspiracy theorists, with a few articles pulled because of author problems, this is a fascinating read. It's not something you'll devour in one sitting, but if you have an interest in the underbelly of pop culture (whether or not you believe the theories themselves), you'll come back to it again and again.

The standard of writing is actually surprisingly high; this isn't like the garbled photocopies that guy in the park hands out. There's work here by Carl Oglesby, Jim Keith, and Robert Anton Wilson (his piece is actually a bit tired and disappointing, but oh well), and genuinely interesting interviews with Jack Hoffman and Kerry Thornley (among others). Overall, worth having on the bookshelf.
