I just noticed that there's a more recent edition       EMPIRE_CITY
of "the Empire City" out from Black Sparrow
Press, with an introduction that provides much more
background on the author's life.

There's a quote from Goodman where he claims
that what he was trying to do with "Empire City"
was turn Don Quioxte upside down.  The world
is completely insane, but the novel is about
a group of characters who are "sane as hammers",
and "always call every spade a spade".


       (And -- at various times -- engage
       in pederasty, incest, murder,
       cannibalism...)
