The Starry Dynamo:
The Machinery of Night Remixed
By Sven Davisson

A collection of work spanning over fifteen years, The Starry Dynamo presents an eclectic evolution of material running the gamut from the erotic to the divine and the erotically divine to the divinely erotic. The work moves from charged and, at times, provocative fiction and prose-poetry to scholarly and thought-provoking essays on spirituality and philosophy.

The diverse topics include the history of the commune at Rajneeshpuram, Oregon and the Reagan administration’s action to suppress it; William S. Burroughs’ gnostic mythology of the Space Age; Michel Foucault and the epistemology of the Self; the androgynous occulture of the fin de siecle and more.

Sven Davisson is the founding editor of Ashé Journal.

Praise for The Starry Dynamo...

"The Starry Dynamo is a compelling and seductive collection. Sven Davisson’s work is erotic, haunting, spiritual and unafraid to take chances. A bold and riveting book." —Emanuel Xavier editor of Bullets & Butterflies and author of Christlike

"The bastard lovechild of William Burroughs and Aliester Crowley—or was he spawned of an orgy involving Rajneesh, Pan, Ginsberg, Foucault and a dozen or so of Burroughs North African wildboys? Davisson’s vision is a rich distillation of subversive thought. Tribal, mythic, punk and anarchic, Davisson is a serious thinker with the spirit of a mischievous sprite." —Trebor Healey author of Sweet Son of Pan
