Underground Library Needs Your Help

PH Madore has started a wikisite called the Underground Library and he needs your help. The idea is that it will grow

beyond the basic project that it is and become a useful resource for all of us. If you know a thing or two, take a few

minutes to add that information to an already existing article or write a new one if one doesn’t already exist. The process

is fairly simple, even for a computer moron like me, so give it a shot. All contributions are welcome and all contributions to

contributions are welcome.

From the Lobby:

Why We’re Here

To document, promote, and sustain the literary underground in the most grassroots way possible: relying on

the knowledge of said literary underground. To give incoming generations of writers and publishers a sense of

history from which they may learn and to which they can contribute. To remain balanced and factual; to bring

writing back to the reader.

I’ve tried writing up a few short things for the library based on my limited knowledge (I’ll also be helping with the site when

he heads off to Iraq) and so far have posted rough articles on The Cupboard , the ULA, Bear Parade, Avery Anthology ,

Publishing Genius, and No Colony . Please add to them or change them if you know more than I or can write it in a much

clearer way.

Write your own articles too.

Do stuff.

Visit the Where to Begin page or simply type in a search term and edit an existing page/create a new one.

Thanks for posting this, Ryan Call. If it stays just me and you and the occasional few others, I don’t really care,

because by sheer perseverence I think eventually this will become a “useful resource.” I like the whole being-

in-it-for-the-longterm thing. It makes me feel like some form of success is inevitable.

Yes, thanks a lot, and also thanks to anyone who goes and imparts their knowledge. You know more than you

think you do.

Cool stuff. Should organize a buddy system (a la grade school) where writers get to know each other and write

each other’s UL page.

Btw, one more thought: this project totally reminiscent of the short story “Dialogo dei massimi sistemi” by

Tommaso Landolfi. I ask myself, whether Serafini was influenced by this great surrealist while of working on

his Codex…

Then you might like some of the stuff by Donna Haraway: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D onna_Haraway (I have

read Simians, Cyborgs and Women: The Reinvention of Nature. Try it. I’ll check out Hayles for sure. Thanks.)
