{"product_id":"9780882860701","title":"Juice Is Stranger Than Friction: Selected Writings of T-Bone Slim","description":"\u003cbr\u003eCultural writing. A working stiff, a hobo, and an irreconilable revolutionist-- that is to say, utterly lacking in qualifications for literary respectability-- T-Bone Slim won for himself a total exclusion from academic histories and textbooks of American literature, a distinction legions of lesser writers, before and since, have found it nearly impossible to attain. T-Bone Slim was one of the very few American authors of the 1920's and 30's who realized that the abolition of wage-slavery requires the abolition of mental slavery-- that the unfettering of the imagination is the revolutionary writer's first and essential task. A vigorous protest against the bourgeoise devaluation of language as a medium of exchange, T-Bone's writing reflects an authentically surrealist ambition to expand the limits of human expression-- to exceed the accepted boundaries of discourse by putting language in a state of exhilarating effervescence.","brand":"Charles H.
