Note

Handshake Editions edited by Jim Haynes.
Paperback, with illustrated front wrapper by Robert Crumb, showing grimacing man, eyeballs bulging, brow furrowed, holding head in hands, with words and symbols denoting his psychological crises surrounding him.
Photocopied typedscript text with black, adhesive binding.
"Angelo Quattrocchi is an Italian writer, bilingual by choice. He has been a roving correspondent around the world for Italian[,] English and American newspapers for some time."--From the back wrapper.
Angelo Quattrocchi (1945-2009) reported from London, Paris, and the U.S. for Italian newspapers, and later worked as a scriptwriter for the BBC, Channel 4, and for Italian television.
"You might have bought this book out of curiosity, as you buy anything to feed your mind eternally famished for novelty, because it cannot easily grasp reality. It's your problem. I'm not going to offer you another piece of the old show. I'm going to try to reach you, like blood, real blood spilling out of the T.V. set to foul your carpet [...] For me first. And for you, my reader. If it happens to you too, I'm glad. But if it doesn't, it's your problem."--From the Prologue.
"So what's the simple lesson of history? That revolutions are always crushed? No, that we crawl, slowly and bloodily towards freedom [...]."
