Promotional Postcard for Claude Pélieu's "Kali Yug Express" (2012)
Dover, Delaware, US: Bottle of Smoke Press (postcard), 2012.
4" x 6", printed both sides.
A promotional postcard by Bottle of Smoke Press (Dover, Delaware, US) for the 2012 edition of Claude Pélieu's Kali Yug Press, a cut-up novel.
This contains a blurb by Burroughs on verso: “Claude Pélieu and I have exchanged letters and manuscripts for some years. I am frequently struck by precise though seemingly coincidental references in his work to what I am writing right now writing which nobody but myself has directly seen. I feel that we are sharing a common source of literary material and a common source of thought that perhaps all serious writers are in a very real sense so united. By serious writers I mean those who have left the concept of art for art’s sake behind and see writing as a weapon with revolvers aimed voici le temps de l’assassin.”
This copy was acquired with a signed (by Charles Plymell) softcover copy of the book, from the collection of Supervert (New York City).
