Degenerative Prose is outlaw writing with a terrorist heart. The missives published here represent an explosive mix of avant-pop fiction, e-mail viruses, anti-aesthetic manifestoes, dissident comics, aberrant essays, eloquent rants, mock interviews, and phony contributor notes. An interventionist attack on the banality of mainstream culture, Degenerative Prose tears down the reign of genre and dares the reader to use these previously unpublished narrative strategies to deconstruct all the digital hype permeating the sonic landscape. A witches' brew of cult-writing stirs within these pages and includes characters with names like Ken Dorfberg, Norman Conquest, Eurudice, Ricardo Cortez Cruz, Bob's Media Ecology, Terry Southern, Rikki Ducornet, and Steve Katz.
