Todd Van Buskirk has "written" False Barnyard, Bridge to Indians, and Fade to Vegetables...Has anyone seen this? I tried searching to see if this had been mentioned yet...it looks like a bunch of posts from the Hoffman board about smile on a "novel like book"

LOL. Did you read the review for 'False Barnyard'?

"Use my SHTV posts, I sue your a***....

Isn't this a cute idea? Don't know what you're thinking, pal, but if you use any of my posts in print from the "Hoffman Forum" without my permission, expect a lawsuit coming your way."

God must’ve smiled the day Brian Wilson was born!

"ragegasm" - /rāj • ga-zəm/ : a logical mental response produced when your favorite band becomes remotely associated with the bro-country genre.

Ever want to hear some Beach Boys songs mashed up together like The Beatles' 'LOVE' album? Check out my mix!

Review
"That's one of the weirdest things I have seen on the net in a long time."--stevehoffman.tv/forums

"It's like...'Ulysses!' The second bit! Only minus the sex!"--stevehoffman.tv/forums

"Oh my god...what the hell is this?"--stevehoffman.tv/forums
Product Description
The Beach Boys “Smile Sessions” box set has caused much internet discussion and debate among fans of the legendary unfinished album “SMiLE” from 1966/67. Pages and pages of internet scholarly debate contrast with mindless banter and is a fascinating look into a pure obsession the author also shares.

Appropriation novelist Todd Van Buskirk’s latest project is copy/pasting choice “SMiLE” debates and information about the album from the internet, word for word, into a word document in order to construct a series of novels, created by incorporating the copy/paste function in Microsoft Word.

To create “Bridge To Indians” Todd Van Buskirk navigated to the now defunct “Smile Shop” website and found a section called “Notable Quotes” collected from certain key players involved in the drama of “SMiLE.” The author took these quotes, word for word, and expanded and mixed the text with a Markov Text Synthesizer to construct a dreamy narrative culled from the actual dramatis personae involved in the mystery that is “SMiLE.”.

It's an interesting idea though the execution isn't wonderful. This sort of thing has been around for decades and it is part of an important movement that understands the significance of understanding that language does things other than make meaning - it has all sorts of other values that we typically ignore in our desire to make sense of the world.

Interesting. When's this dude bringing out 'Sleep A Lot' because that explains how interesting I find the premise to his novels. Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

I understand it in a similar sort of way as automatic writing, or something - just sheer language. Which can be good. But the execution is less than pleasing....

Yeah, I agree. Plus this sort of thing has been done relentlessly. I get the Derridian instability of language. I get the significance of language experiments to free us from formal constraints. I get the ability that technology has in undermining or complicating the authority of the author figure. So what new is the book telling me?
