Because I was compiling this bib. at the time the material was extant, you
can imagine what is there represented, but is now no longer neither
available nor even remembered (or, in some cases, even imaginable!) If
people are interested in seeing what is in that list perhaps Kali can say
how the thing might be accessed. I believe it reached the point where the
citations had been input into some electronic format - past that, I cannot say.
I do remember that among the hundreds and hundreds of entries there were
some truly amazing intellectual fossils - both humorous and sobering, though
by reason of the exigencies of the past 30 years of social history, the
former was as often as not meant to be the "sober" production and vice
versa. I am betting that many people on this list who might spend some time
poring over it would discover some titles and authors and associations that
had gone completely out of there consciousness. Coming across references to
many of these oddities would be like ChristmasChannuchaRamadanMayDay
morning. One that just popped into my mind was Claude Brown's (?) Manchild
in the Promised Land. Not all that obscure, admittedly, but I hadn't
thought of it in years even though I remember it with fondness because it
was so accessible to a white kid trying not to be one (I failed,
incidentally.) Another one is a draft counseling pamphlet by Tulie
Kupherberg of the Fugs wherein he advises the young draft evader to present
himself at the induction center in neatly pressed clothing and then proceed
to talk through his anus until dismissed. I wonder, should that title be
added to list that is currently abuilding?
