The Mundus
The Mundus is Norman Pritchard’s magnum opus, a mysterious work that is both visual and poetic, literary and mystical. The work was composed between 1965 until at least July 1971, a six-year period during which the author refined and reworked its pages, seeking out new literary forms alongside personal transcendence. As Pritchard mentions in a letter to Ishmael Reed in 1968, “Literature in and of itself doesn’t seem to have a broad enough scope for me anymore.” Despite its ambitions and grand sc…

The Life Of The Truth
In this brief, dense essay, René Daumal bids us to resist the very notion of the truth, and to recognize it as an artistic and metaphysical dead-end. René Daumal (1908-1944) was a French poet and writer often associated with surrealism (though he fought against the label), spiritualism, and ‘pataphysics. He is perhaps best remembered for the posthumously published novel, Mount Analogue (1952).

Due to its scarcity, the New York Press deemed it “an underground classic of such legendary stature that New York’s black cognoscenti have transmogrified the work into urban myth.” This debut, revised for release by Olympia Press in 1971, cemented Cannon’s place as a…
