Been Down So Long intro discussion: Text

[Himself]

Dear Fellow Expositors:

I see, glancing at the reading calendar, that I am a little late kicking off
the discussion of TRP's intro to Richard Fariña's _Been Down So Long It
Looks Like Up To Me_.  Apologies: the aforesaid will begin faithfully
tomorrow.  In the meantime, here is the link to the text of the
introduction, as e-collected at the always invaluable Modern Word:

The Penguin Edition of Fariña's novel (along with the Pynchon introduction)
is still in print:
