An essay by Steven Cline about the history of surrealism in the American South that I just had to go read out loud as soon as I was done reading it silently. I told Steven that I had to go record it straight away because I “wanted my tongue to lick the words”… It covers, in beautiful surrealist language, traditions such as “Riding Fantastic” and figures such as St. Eom of Pasaquan, Edward Leedskaln of Coral Castle, David Huggnis, Jeff Mangum of Neutral Milk Hotel, Clarence John Laughlin, Glass Veal, and much more… I hope you give it a listen, it’s really a great overview of surrealists and their fellow travelers down here in the American South. Enjoy…
