The results, a seemingly random collection of metaphysical short stories, cut-ups, koans, poems and automatic writing, are often as unsettling as they are darkly humorous.
Whilst employing these frequently painful mental gymnastic routines, the author unwittingly unleashes, and subsequently exorcises, a number of allegorical demons.

Mind Crash originally started life as a series of sporadic newsletters, available through subscription only, to a selective band of cultural mischief-makers dotted around the USA, Europe and Japan.
These long-since out of print works, together with previously unpublished pieces, have now been composed into a single volume for the very first time.

I really liked this book, even though it appears to break all the rules: At least one chapter is written entirely without punctuation - not even capital letters or periods! Another chapter is completely blank, etc. Once I recovered from the intial shock of these eccentricities, I found the book to be capable of bringing me, quite literally, to tears: Of Joy, and Pain! Just when I thought it might tip me completely over the edge and into the abyss, it had the ability to grab my wrists and pull me back again, toying with me, indeed, daring me to explore further each time. Recommended reading for soul searchers, mind explorers and acid casualties everywhere :)
