This is a couple of months old but I didn’t see a thread on it. I just watched a documentary about him. Interesting stuff.
The article is a few months old, but he died almost a year ago. They sort of buried the lead on that one, but the date is mentioned about midway through the column.
didn’t he say at one point he wished he never wrote it and it was irresponsible for it publishers to keep publishing it ?
I can highly recommend the documentary film American Anarchist that Lucas alluded to in the OP. It’s basically an 80 minute interview with Mr. Powell.
I’ve owned that book since the the late '70s; ordered it from Loompanics. I thought it was very interesting to hear what Mr. Powell was thinking when he wrote it and what he thought now of what he thought then.
ETA: Aye, nightshadea, he did indeed renounce the book, in a number of very public ways, including a posting on Amazon.com (in 2002? I can’t recall the exact date) and an article in The Guardian (in 2013).
