samizdat
sa·miz·dat
Pronunciation: 'sä-mEz-"dät
Function: noun
Etymology: Russian, from sam- self- + izdatel'stvo publishing house
: a system in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and countries within its orbit by which government-suppressed literature was clandestinely printed and distributed; also : such literature(m-w.com)
albeit presumptous and ranting, the psychic soviet is pure fun and a perfect extension of svenonious’ hysterical gospel yeh-yeh sermonizing and weird war psychedelic fonk-blooz politicizing. at times, the psychic soviet is like a literary equivalent to getting stoned with your favorite sociology professor…hilarious, verbose, self-important, paranoid, and hilarious. like “born on the floor” the book.
