Radical politics, high art, cheap tricks, we want to see them all. We want to drop our titles on bookstores like shrieking buzzbombs, and roll them between the legs of academics like sizzling grenades. However, we can't use just any weapons in our war against bourgeois boredom, we only want the best, the most artful, the most insightful and the most lethal to this culture of moo-cow mediocrity and sameness. We want material that is hard-hitting and is focused both on social injustice and the best way to set the world aright. Too much of the stuff we see either consists of a laundry list of personal complaints and pet peeves on the one hand, and tedious academic dissection on the other.
Credibility comes from experience, profundity comes from theorization.
The drive to know the world and the drive to change the world are one and the same. Experienced activists and scholars of the gutter or the florescent-buzz workplace are more than welcome. D theses or 500 page rants about the Declaration of Independence, Roy Cohn and perpetual motion machines are not. We're not in the market for the next secular Bible, or the latest Senatorial sex scandals. We want critiques of capitalism tempered with real world experience in dissent and discovery.
