Lizard's Eyelid - Uncollected interview

[cirerita]

Don't even bother to find this rag. It's not anywhere online!

Funny to see the origin of Chin-aski. I don't recall having read that before.

"The singing of the blood." That's a mighty fine description...

 

[hoochmonkey9]

You know just how to cheer up the post New Year blues cirerita, thanks.

 

[Bukfan]

Great interview! Funny that he says he hardly got any sex between age 13 - 34, since he met Jane at 28. Well, mayby they did'nt have much sex...
Thanks, cirerita!

I have a little dude: When exactly this magic interview was published?
Before 1960.
Thanks, Lord Cicerita!

Before 1960.

The included poem, face of a political candidate on a street billboard, places it in the 70s.

---

Wait, I'm wrong - he mentions the "advent of AIDS," which makes it mid 80s or later.

---

And then of course he says, "I'm 71 now," which makes it 1991.

There. You made me read the whole damn thing again.

sheeeeez...
Sometimes I feel I could spend the rest of my life digging up things on this site I hadn't read.
Your reread, mjp, was useful, for me at least.
I like the bit about the "chin" in Chinaski. Although it sounds like bs, I still like it. ;-)

Great interview. The hippie-esque art makes it look much earlier than it really is. He was working on PULP at the time, which also helps date it. About the AIDS mention, I recall first hearing about AIDS in So. Cal. in early 1982.

but wise enough not to follow

Hank's always ready for displaying some gems,
thanx for this interview
