Book by Irish Journalist, Exposed, Vincent Browne Silent

"The Battle of Venezuela" by Michael McCaughan. Reviewer amazed to discover own writing, word for word sometimes, and in some cases in slightly paraphrased sentences, with no reference whatsoever to the original article & no credits that this written by anyone other than Michael McCaughan.

her immortal introduction to her quite scary but pivotal work of post punk neo lesbian anger, "Blood and Guts in the Playground".

I still miss Kathy Acker, she was a wonderful if much misunderstood writer, whose work would have continued to blossom. She was one of the few writers who probably would have suited the new electronic media, and Iosaf would have loved to quote her extensively for years to come without proper paranthesis, so I did, I took it, I took it, I did, I didn't think, I did, I didn't do, I was done. I was done, I didn't take, I was done. I was done...I was taken.
