'Straight Outta Dublin' released, new Hilaritas podcast out

 


Straight Outta Dublin, Eric Wagner's study of James Joyce's influence on Robert Anton Wilson (with a big contribution from R. Michael Johnson) was released today by Hilaritas Press. Here is the official announcement. A bit from that newsletter:

"RAW fans into Joyce will love this book. RAW fans who are curious about Joyce, but maybe not big Joyce fans will also love this book. RAW fans totally unfamiliar with Joyce have some enjoyable eye-opening to do! Eric Wagner and R. Michael Johnson make RAW's love for Joyce understandable… not an easy achievement!"

There's also a new podcast about the book, with Mike Gathers interviewing Eric:

Oz Fritz and our present site's host, Tom Jackson, did really top-notch editing work on this book. They both caught numerous howling fuck-ups from myself, and I was able to "see" them and fix them 'cuz of it.

And they both did it just they cared and were giving of their time. Huge kudos!
