Yet another delicious satirical, surrealistic commentary on religion, politics, and western culture direct from the mighty pens of the Church of the SubGenius. Offering "Eternal Salvation or triple your money back," this uniquely unique book is "authorized to blaspheme by the gods themselves." Not for linear thinkers, people who like Pat Robertson, or people who don't like Robert Anton Wilson.

Robert Anton Wilson

"Robert Anton Wilson is a dazzling barker hawking tickets to the most thrilling tilt-a-whirls and daring loop-o-planes on the midway of higher consciousness."
--Tom Robbins, author, Even Cowgirls Get the Blues

"Erudite, witty and genuinely scary"
--Publisher's Weekly

A collection of essays from the first 10 issues of Wilson's iconoclastic newsletter. Most are by Wilson, but includes guest contributors Timothy Leary, Peter Russell and George Carlin; interviews with Linus Pauling, Barbara Marx Hubbard.

Dozens of iconoclastic, satiric, anti-authoritarian and speculative essays from the co-author of the incomparable Illuminatus Trilogy.

"Includes Wilson's witty and humorous observations about the widely spread (and happily, premature) announcement of his demise. And what Wilson masterpiece would be complete without synchronicities, religious fanatics, UFOs, crop circles, paranoia, pompous scientists, secret societies, high tech, black magic, quantum physics, hoaxes (real and fake), Orson Welles, James Joyce, Carl Sagan, Madonna, and The Vagina of Nuit."

"A journey through esoterica and erotica, explaining why Eve in the Bible and Iris in Greek myth were both involved with nefarious apples, why attitudes toward the female breast correlate with war and peace, why the Great Goddess of the ancients went to Hellwhy female pacifists baring their breasts in front of the Pentagon were unconsciously repeating an ancient religious ritual, why celibates have burned so many "witches" and more!" Originally published in 1972 as The Book of the Breast, it has been updated, and has a new introduction by Wilson.
