LRD is the second in a trilogy of books of critifiction, exploring various unknowable musicians. The first,
The Compleat Lungfish,
was published by Apocalypse Party.
LRD
looks at Les Rallizes Dénudés, in recursive, elliptical fragments, occasionally intercut with ideas from philosophers and novelists and others, exploring the world the band enacted and their strange discography via a protagonist, named simply "Writer". Inspired by writers like Ihab Hassan and Raymond Federman, these books attempt to explore and exhaust real things via layered, referential text fragments. The end result is a kind of commonplace book around a single subject, writing "at" the thing rather than writing biographically.
