Reviews

[Keiron · Rating 3 out of 5]

A collection of Vega's sketches, prose and lyrics from his tenure in Suicide. Quite rare nowadays and bigger than most in the size of 2.13.61's bibliography. One to pick up if you are a diehard Suicide fan or an appreciator of Mr. Vega himself.

[Pachyderm Bookworm · Rating 4 out of 5]

A book of blather again published by the esteemed former frontman of both Black Flag and The Rollins Band, courtesy of 2.13.61. I'd first seen "paper copies" of this volume between twenty and thirty years ago. Ennui endures. Almost (but not quite) reminiscent of the "cut-up collage" method of literary exposition or "stream-of consciousness" writing style both favored heavily by Kathy Acker and William S. Burroughs, lauded by literary critics and favored early on at the onset of both these estimable literary powerhouses whose work continues to influence the reading public (either "blindly" or "blandly") today.
