Reading that Laughner graphic novel, which referenced a weird poetry book from David Thomas (singer from Pere Ubu).
The Book of Hieroglyphs. Sounds cool.
David Thomas presents a journey through the ghost towns of
America. Along county roads, across lost bridges, on the banks of
mighty Interstate rivers are places that you don’t know that you
know. There’s not a map in the world to tell you where to find
them. This is a story of the quest, a story of lives sighted. A Lincoln
Continental Town Car races across the face of a neon land, trailing
clouds of dust and dogs. The story goes Somewhere and ends Nowhere. It represents a different kind of writing; a form that went into a state of metamorphosis before the time of Homer, emerging
from its chrysalis in 1877 as a new creation. A hundred years of
maturation followed. The writing is become hieroglyphic.
