LRD

LRD is the second in a trilogy of books of critifiction exploring various unknowable musicians. The first The Compleat Lungfish was published by Apocalypse Party. LRD looks at Les Rallizes Dénudés in recursive elliptical fragments occasionally intercut with ideas from philosophers and novelists and others exploring the world the band enacted and their strange discography via a protagonist named simply “Writer”. Inspired by writers like Ihab Hassan and Raymond Federman these books attempt to explore and exhaust real things via layered referential text fragments. The end result is a kind of commonplace book around a single subject writing “at” the thing rather than writing biographically.
