Overview

Cultural Writing. New to SPD, this odd and compelling book is a collection of Stewart Home's letters, mostly to Florian Cramer, regarding the fabricated 'movement' they call Neoism. As Home puts it in his Introduction, [I] insist that Neoism is no more ridiculous as a 'cultural' phenomenon than Futurism, Dadaism, Surrealism, Lettrism or Situationism. All of these 'groups' operated on the basis of speculation, aiming to create the illusion that a 'movement' that bore their name actually existed ... The avant-garde' has long denied its avant-garde' status because it does not wish to acknowledge the ebb and flow of its own discontinuous tradition'. I hope the selection of letters to third parties, cut into this blend and clash of opinion, adds productively to the general sense of disorientation and confusion.
