Thundersqueak is a rant, a polemic, a revolutionary manifesto and, in simple terms, a book of instructions for freeing the soul and living a better, or more interesting, life. In places it is a dialogue between two contrasting aspects of the author's personality. Written in three weeks in 1978, six months after the author completed the Abramelin Operation, it leads the reader through the dark night of the soul to the paradoxical dawn of hope. Many people claim that this book changed their lives. It has also been described as "a good book to reader when you are young and feeling angry"
I like Ramsey Dukes - or is it Angerford, or Lea, or Johnstone, or even Snell, or... Anyhow, I get a kick out of how you can never really tell when he’s transitioned from being serious to totally fucking with you; or for that matter if he’s ever actually not just fucking with you. Also, it’s refreshing to see apathy touted as a virtue in a book of political philosophy (or whatever the hell this book is about) - or maybe I’m just gullible enough to want to believe he wasn’t being tongue in cheek about that too. Oh well. In any event it’s an enjoyable read, that’s for sure.
