I prefer `Far- Out '. Came first from France. Norm Rubington gets credit for creating the (hard chuckle ! ! ) collages. You'll see : cavalry and cannons, center field and weak-hearted candidates, - in addition to a used rapier and a goat on a chair. Very spoofy. Can't make it up ! ! Red cover shows a very large gun. Heavily rubbed. No names. Hardly collectible. But talk about idea generation. The concept is `the how and the why of rising to the top '. Size: 12mo.

Wrappers lightly worn with some light shelf-wear to the extremities present. Book is free of ownership marks. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. Akbar del Piombo illustrious subterranean luminary, mysterious, pseudonymous author of six darkly comic, wildly satirical collage novels. Akbar del Piombo preposterous, portentous name, once widely believed to be a nom-de-plume of William S. Burroughs. Akbar del Piombo the name itself a kind of collage, fittingly inconsonant for a virtuoso of the incongruous. Fuzz Against Junk - Akbar Del PiomboThefirstof the Akbar del Piombo collage novels and probably the best known of the six is Fuzz Against Junk (1959). First published by the Olympia Press in Paris, the book was then marketed in the U. S. By the Citadel Press, later reprinted by New English Library and by Beach Books, and subsequently serialized in the pages of Rolling Stone magazine. Subtitled "The Saga of the Narcotics Brigade, " the novel recounts the exploits of Sir Edwin Fuzz, "foremost narcotics expert of the United Kingdom and sleuth par excellence, " who is summoned to New York city to aid in combating an unparalleled outbreak of criminality there, the consequence of an equally unprecedented epidemic of heroin addiction. The prime mover of the burgeoning rate of drug addiction and its attendant wave of violent crime is an elusive figure known as "The Man, " a criminal genius and a master of disguise. On the basis of the evidence presented to him by New York police, Sir Edwin shrewdly concludes that the true epicentre of the mayhem besetting the city of New York lies at the other end of the continent in San Francisco. Sir Edwin then leads a band of detectives to San Francisco where they disguise themselves as "beatniks, " infiltrate the drug milieu of that city, and ultimately succeed in capturing "The Man, " who, faced with imprisonment for his multitudinous misdeeds, chooses, instead, to commit suicide.
