A fellow member of a private listening group also recommended the text. Minutes into the BBC documentary on Partch's life I was awestruck by the similarities between his own outsider philosophy and rejection of the status quo and the anti-authoritarian characters like Number 6 and Number 48.
Instantly ordered a copy of the text. Thank you - I'm really looking forward to reading it!
