Soon he found his way into French influences such as the Surrealists, Dada, the Decadents, the Symbolists, the Realists, and the Bouzingo, and on from there. One must always be interested in something, or else what's the point. He sees himself as an amateur, off-the-cuff subcultural art historian (from Romanticism to Posthumanism).

Hypelandia: The Subcultural Oral History of 80s Portland, 90s Berlin, & 2010s Detroit Hypelandia: The Subcultural Oral History of 80s Portland, 90s Berlin, & 2010s Detroit by Dylan Forsyth

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I conceived this fictional oral history as an homage and parody of other music and subculture focused oral histories such as Please Kill Me: The Uncensored Oral History of Punk, Johnny Rottten's first autobiography, Wonderland Berlin, and Meet Me in the Bathroom: Rebirth Read more of this blog post »

I liked Legends and Lattes because there wasn't a bunch of fighting and traditional fantasy plotting. All the sword fighting, etc. in this book isn't as good as the less action based scenes. Setting up the bookshop, a ratkin flirting with another rat ...more

“The current is ideas: edible ideas; lavish, insane, taken years to ferment, then corked and cheered, inciting a whole battalion of champagne to detonate, idea after idea, until it is as if we are standing on an entirely new earth.”
― Ian Drew Forsyth, The Great Chaining of Being

“Most of the real gods are dead; because we've robbed them of freewill. But it doesn't mean we still don't worship ideas.”
― Ian Drew Forsyth, The Great Chaining of Being
