"Fan-favourite Eckhard Gerdes returns to the
enigmatic fold with three kaleidoscopic tales guaranteed to tie-dye
tattoo you in your free love purple haze.
When
Eckhard Gerdes’s first published book, a chapbook of the novella
Projections, was published in 1986 in a limited edition of 200 copies,
the legendary review magazine Factsheet Five stated, “This work lies
somewhere on the borderland between poetry and dream, in an area that I
seldom enter without chemical aid (indeed, I was tempted to reread this
at once while under the influence of some suitable substance, but the
pressures of writing other reviews dissuaded me). Gerdes’s writing is
not linear and direct, but at the same time it is not as dense and
difficult as that of, say, James Joyce. There is even a plot here, of
sorts.” Now this gem of a collector’s item (copies sell at prices
upwards of a thousand dollars) is finally reissued in a beautiful new
edition accompanied by two other novellas from Eckhard Gerdes’s
psychedelic period, Systems of Flux, which has recently been serialized
in Liebamour, a popular magazine of psychedelic art, and the
never-before-published Aspic Interregencies."
