(R. Meltzer is, in our opinion, one of the true luminaries of the literary scene. He has appeared in these pages often over the past few years, as well as those of other magazines too diverse and numerous to name. He has had several books published as well, including a new one, Gulcher, which is reviewed elsewhere in this issue. His surreal, ubex-conscious autobiography, entitled Caned Out, is supposed to be published as a Fusion book by Outerbridge and Lazard in the not-too-distant-future. The purpose of all this is to introduce Meltzer’s column for CREEM, the first of which is here before you. If you are not already familiar with his style, this should give you a taste (or perhaps we should say swig) of what he is up to.
By the way, Meltzer’s first name is Richard and he lives in the wilds of New York City. - Ed.)
