Hilaritas Press announces new Robert Anton Wilson politics book

 


Hilaritas Press today announced the release of a new anthology, A Non-Euclidean Perspective: Robert Anton Wilson’s Political Commentaries 1960-2005.

An email newsletter was sent out today to announce the book, Here is part of the announcement:

"This book has been a labor of love spanning some three years, where Mike Gathers, Chad Nelson, Jesse Walker and Richard Rasa poured over a mountain of essays, interviews and other writings so we could present an overview of Robert Anton Wilson's political ideas as they evolved over some 45 years. A nod to Tom Clisson, proofreader extraordinaire, is also essential. Jesse Walker, an editor at Reason magazine and author of The United States of Paranoia: A Conspiracy Theory, wrote an extensive introduction for the book, and Jesse did a masterful job at pulling all the threads of RAW's ideas into a coherent picture. Richard Rasa penned an afterword that takes a look at the Guns and Dope Party, RAW's only semi-official dabbling into the political theater when he ran for governor of California in a special election. Rasa's afterword also attempts to examine the question of RAW's standing in terms of left vs right. Fortunately, RAW goes a long way in explaining that himself in one of the essays in this book, that both Jesse and Rasa referenced."

I just bought my copy, now I have to go look at it! More here in the newsletter.
