The bleeding continues...

[Mark Kohut]

I may be repeating myself so DELETE now if I am, but I once said that
it was a(nother) example--maybe P's first or late latest really--of the
kind of newly original (sic. redundancy intended for nuances) work of art
that was surprisingly ahead of its time, 'prophetic' as I wrote and some
Plisters argued with me--and they may be right--about the meaning or
non-meaning of THAT concept as applied.

But I will, whatever the merits of that word, also say we seem to agree
that it is more "different" (sic. intended) than most of P's others. (But
we know as a great artist, he has made them all uniquely form-fitting with
their meanings, I would suggest).

I think we and the rest of many readers are raising the ranking, the
judgment of Bleeding Edge since publication. Knowing the publishing history
of a few such books, I love 'is shit...

This tweet is about a podcast reading of BLEEDING EDGE, I believe, starting
today.
