Al Ackerman (1939–2013)

"Blaster" Al Ackerman is quite possibly the greatest short story writer of the twentieth century & into the next one, what's that next one called? The twentieth-thirtieth or something? Gotta get back to my wine now..

Write this on the head of a pin instead of the bible.

I learned from this bk that if you walk backwards in a crab-like fashion you will eventually get run over by something if you're not careful.

I desperately need to re-read this. Discovered Ackerman when I was in the heat of a "micropress" or "thirdstream" literature hunt. He's one of a group of Baltimore madfolk who do unbelievable things with words and narrative. He's a long-time co-conspirator with Ohio madpoet John M. Bennett. Seek this out.
