Great last line, “What are you going home to?”.

I'm not one for commenting on public executions but it is hard not to notice this particular one over the past while. What to say...I keep coming back to a comment that Hunter made about Fred Exley's 1968 novel, A Fan's Notes. In a letter to Selma Shapiro of Random House, Hunter wrote - "There is something very good and right about it, hard to define...Very weird. I suppose it's the truth-level, a demented kind of honesty."

Ok so, time to address this one. Have been getting lots of enquiries as to what I am doing - is my book on Hunter getting published, am I still working in academia, will I sell my site, page, collection etc.

Latest addition to the collection. Any ideas as to the book and where it came from?

Really enjoyed this bio-comic of underground press legend John Wilson, the man behind the international counterculture newspaper Other Scenes, for which Hunter contributed "The Ultimate Freelancer" on the life of Lionel Olay and later "How The Freaks Almost Took The Town" a nearly 4,000 word article on the 1969 Aspen, CO mayoral election which is not reprinted anywhere else.
