SCRAMBLE THE STACKS!
ACTUAL SCRAPS OF TEXT STOLEN FROM THE ULA'S PUBLIC FORUM,
THE  HOTTEST NEW SOURCE FOR LITERARY REVOLUTION

 
NOTE - ULA stands for Underground Literary Alliance. They are real.  Their manifesto is here. They are strident. They have reasonable ideas about the role of zines in literary culture, but they present them in the bashing manner of one-eyed zealots. The editor of the online literary webzine you're currently reading spent some time last week agitating-to-absurdity after the ULA ridiculed a fellow literary journal. What's below is a feat of copying, pasting, and arranging text. We realize the inclusion of this excerpted discourse may bring visitors to a group that primarily seeks attention, but we also think that it would be fun if a few brave souls go to their message board, respond to a thread or two or start a new one, and have some fun with those fuckers - ENDNOTE

Dear ULA, 

I have been following the discussions on this board, and while doing so, I have attempted to create a piece of imaginative prose that would match the literary ideal
proposed by your group, the Underground Literary Alliance

I have tried and I have made my attempt available to everyone in the world, free of charge. It is accessible here: http://www.eyeshot.net/b1.html

I would like to know if you think my effort has come close to meeting the ULA mark. 

Thank you for your consideration.

Well, I guess that means you don't like it much huh? Too bad. I committed myself to one letter of the alphabet in order to work within a structure that would, at first, seem to limit possibility. This limitation represents today's publishing world, the way in which the entire scope of literary endeavor is ordered by only a handful, similiar to the way in which the all words available to us are arranged in that entirely arbitrary presentation seen in dictionaries called the alphabet

Most readers have very limited vocabularies and so by choosing to include overlooked and archaic words, those that have been neglected and pushed beyond the boundaries of our language, I am offering opportunity for these words to be revived and incorporated into everyday usage, which directly parallels the ULA's attempts to bring peripheral writers to the attention of  the literary center. 

Further, by presenting a rangy comic narrative within this oppressive formal structure, I demonstrate that there is hope for the marginalized to live lives that are active and even bawdy, whether they are underappreciated authors or relatively unknown words. 

The alliterative style I picked up from Dean Koontz, by the way, an extraordinarily popular writer who recognizes how much readers enjoy the raucous repetition of first letters etc. 

Very truly yours, 

Lee Klein

Comrades! 

As consistent readers of this venue will remember, in a previous post, I defended a literary work I created that symbolically demonstrated how the formal structure of the alphabet is as subtle and as oppressive in its ubiquity as today's literary publishing world. 

Just as the alphabet orders all words into just 26 categories from A to Z, the entire scope of literary endeavor is controlled by only a handful, by fewer than 26 magazines, publishing houses, and agents. 

The symbolic/representative piece I created 
(http://eyeshot.net/b.html) took its narrative direction from overlooked and archaic words, those that have been neglected and pushed beyond the boundaries of 
our language, in an effort to offer opportunity for these words to be revived and incorporated into everyday usage, directly paralleling the ULA's attempts to bring peripheral writers to the attention of the literary center. 
I simply wish to demonstrate that there is hope for the marginalized to live active literary lifestyles that are active and full of life and style, whether they are underappreciated authors or relatively unknown words. 

Further, elsewhere on this forum, I proposed that we all spend an hour today or tomorrow in our area's local chain bookstore (B&N, Border's, etc) SCRAMBLING THE STACKS of the Fiction Section! 

By undermining the underlying alphabetical structure of the few literary titles available for mass 
consumption, we will send a message to the publishing world that we have power, that we can subvert literary oppression and create a new order out of the chaos we create! 

Although I live in Brooklyn, I am currently visiting a friend  in Iowa City, Iowa. That's right. I'm in the lion's den of MFA iniquity. All around me candy-asses stroll with printouts of their carefully constructed, dull as fuck, academic drivel. And so, just this morning, on a sunday while the future killers (of an art their 
predecessors already suffocated with minimalist 
tastefulness) slept, I entered Prairie Lights Bookstore 
(since B&N is in Corallville and I don't have a car) and spent a stealthy hour SCRAMBLING THE STACKS! 

Moody is now next to Ann Beattie, where he belongs! 

Easton Ellis is next to all this NYC cronies and they're all pushed over to the uppermost stacks unavailable to all those without platform shoes next to Carver and Gaitskill and T.C. Boyle and Ethan Canin and Denis Johnson and it's all so wonderfully chaotic that it feels as though, having returned to write this report, already the literary world has yet to recover from this critically timed blow that shall send shockwaves through the 
literary communities of the world - that is, ONLY IF WE ALL GO OUT TODAY (OR TOMORROW ON OUR LUNCH HOUR) AND SCRAMBLE THE STACKS! 

SCRAMBLE THE STACKS! SCRAMBLE THE STACKS! 

ONLY BY CHANGING AN OPPRESSIVE LITERARY ORDER WE RARELY NOTICE WILL WE BE ABLE TO MAKE ANY REAL CHANGE WITHIN THE PUBLISHING WORLD!

Subject: Astor Place B&N Successfully Scrambled! 

I can say that I just went to the Barnes and Noble on 
Astor Place in NYC and rearranged the alphabetical order of the stacks as per suggestions made earlier this morning on this forum. 

It' s hard to say if it was a success. No one noticed. I got about a third of the A's over to the middle of the 
alphabet in about ten minutes, then browsed magazines, then returned and moved the B's, then browsed the nonfiction section, then returned for the C's - I did this about six times, getting through F, and I noticed that scrambling A thru E throughout the alphabet gets things pretty screwed up! 

I can admit that at first I thought it was sort of a silly thing to do, but by the time I was ready to call it a day, I could really see that'd I'd created some chaos, and it really made me feel like I had some power to jam the publishing industry at their point of commerce, by disrupting their ordering mechanism, something so simple and taken for granted as the fucking alphabet! 

I recommend stacks scrambling to anyone who has an hour to burn and wants to take action in a really subtle hands-on way. 

Scramble the Stacks! 

Tomorrow I'm hitting the Union Square Barnes & Noble! 

If you get there before me I'll hit the one in the village!

Great Scott! i just went over to the Philly B&Noble on Walnut st. on my lunch hour when, approaching the A's with subversive intent, i realized--someone had already scrambled them!! i turned and ran down the "up" escalator, pushing people to the side, knocked over a display rack near the entrance, bolted thru the door and across the street, car horns blaring at me, into the park, deserted on this rainy afternoon...i stood looking around, wet strands of hair hanging over my glasses; i yelled out, "WENCLAS!!...WENNCLAAS!" ...but there was no answer. 

p.s. use caution with this scrambling thing, lest you inadvertently un-scramble a stack and undo someone's work!

I admit it's a good postmodern ploy. Do it with a term paper...now let's do it to a bookstore! --The only thing is that postmodernism is stupid. 

And I have a sense of humor! 

The alphabet is neither the enemy nor the joke. Nor the vehicle for worthy play. You're just killing time. Yeah, mess with their heads...skin deep. Fluff. 

A dead bookstore is a scary thing indeed and they are scary close to being dead today. But messin with the stacks doesn't help. There's no message there for the masses or anyone else. Oh, it's *chaos*. Sorry.... Actually, it's not. I think it's predictable. It's what a bored postmodernist would do. 

I'll let it perk. But my hunch is that it's no go. My hunch is that this is NOT hardhitting ULA action. Action is cool, nuttiness is cool, but we gotta back up a bit here

Mr. Potter, 

I appreciate your effort so far with the creation of this forum, an area which has attracted much notice among many NYC-related circles. It has attracted me to the ULA and I am attempting to forward the issue, to use this forum as a vehicle for decentralized action. 

"Scrambling the Stacks" is not a post-modern academic idea. I have no idea what you mean by calling this a postmodern action? What is a postmodern action? I know what postmodernism is, more or less, as well as anyone, and I really can't see how it's "postmodern"" to attack the stacks and reorganize the shelves in order to make a statement about the way big publishing and massive bookstore chains are in cohoots, maintaining the literary order by controlling what's produced and what's available . . . 

"Scambling the Stacks" is more akin to logo-jamming, the sort of thing you see and read about in Adbusters or Naomi Klein's excellent introductory essays on sweatshops and logos etc called "No Logo." It's a subtle prank, superficially, that works on many levels, akin to the tossing of tea into a harbor! It's not about french philosphers or the simpsons, by which I mean postmodernism - it's about books, what's produced and what's available. The alphabet thing simply calls attention to the fact that this is all about order. 

The major chain booskstores such as Barnes & Noble and Borders are starbucks-addled monsters that destroy good independent stores that aren't so arm-in-arm with big publishing (or big coffee). By focusing the point of protest on the stacks of massive boosktores, we call attention to the often unnoticed actions of the supply side (publishers/sellers), and by scrambling the stacks, we create a situation which calls for our opponents to reorganize the books on their shelves, this time including underrepresented writers, 
zines, alternative sources of literary work. 

If you think we're attacking the alphabet, you're too literal minded to be a part of this campaign. It's important to be able to make that metaphorical jump regading the alphabet, to understand the subtlety employed, for the opponent moves in ways that are not at first obvious as well. This is a literary movement, after all. We understand metaphor. We understand analogy. We understand that all is not simply what it seems! 

Again, Mr. Pxttxr, I appreciate your effort enabling this forum. Please consider the validity of what I've expressed above, and whatever you do, don't think this is a joke. Lick this boot! It might be the one that kicks open the door. You never know. 

Peace and action, 

Quaking Mountain of Intellectual Jelly (AKA Dr. QMIJ)

It is not a question of what happens now, of how many 
people scramble the stacks today or tomorrow or this 
weekend. Scrambling the stacks is only a superficial act, I agree. 

In recognition of this, in order to free us from the shackles of an opressive alphabet entirely, I have spent the afternoon coming up with a new alphabet. I can't demonstrate any of the letters here on this forum because the computer I use still uses the old alphabetical system, of course. You see my predicament. But I will work on it through the week and maybe by next monday i'll have a new keyboard ready for all of us to use. 

What I envision however is not just a new alphabet but a new language! 

Why talk of such superficialities as literary taste with regard to work created in the language of the past! 

What we need is an entire new form of literary expression! 

A language based on an alphabet primarily depicting gestures, shouts, emotions, unseen things, complete abstractions such as smelling something stinky to entirely earthbound letters that would represent (and sort of look like) stepping in shit, for example.

If we're really talking about literary revolution, let's not just set out to change the surface of the publishing world, let's change the whole language! 

Moody's not the problem - it's the language we type in - it's all tapped out. 

With fist in air and middle finger partially erect (a depiction of this will be our new "J") I ask you to join us as we forge the language anew!

Not at all, Mr. Pxttxr. 

First of all, the idea behind "scrambling the stacks" was NOT initially intended as a contra-ULA prank. I conceived of it as a sort of adbusters-worthy culture jamming intended to illustrate the publishing companies/booksellers' control of what's available to the people. To a small extent, this very real notion of scrambling the stacks in mass-chain bookstores included a bit of jocoserious abstraction regarding the alphabet, aka fun. But a few ULAers got bogged down in the alphabet joke, unwilling to see the overall and very real arc of the campaign because they stalled on the inclusion of a dash of essential human levity intended to lighten things up. 

Someone comes up with an idea for action and you all  sit there with your thumbs up your asses - revolutionaries! fuckheads more like it . . . .

Is foul language radical? Or literate? 

The Scramble the Stacks prank idea came up after the discussion of writing cut-ups. 

I don't see it as being decentralized AT ALL. It's reactionary, offering nothing of its own. I don't really see how it highlights the limited offerings and control of big stores either. 

I like the idea of the ULA getting a "bad" name for doing things like asking tough questions, exposing corruption, mocking bad writing, publishing superior writing. --Not for being dingdongs. There's a diff. There's plenty of room for jokes, pranks and actions that do what you say is your goal. I just don't see yet that your prank has any such effect that you imagine it to.

Your problem, Lee, is that you're hopelessly brain-damaged. What's all this postmodernist posing? That's not what the ULA was intended to be about. That was the LAST thing we were intended to be about. 

We've engaged in serious actions, trying to draw attention to the corruption of the literary world. Are you at all interested in that? Will you send an e-mail to the publisher who shafted writer Lisa Falour, and help us in that action? Will you join our ongoing protest against the Rick Moody award? 

Prankster acts have a place, but they're no substitute for serious behavior. But all I've seen from you to date is clowning. Maybe "Lee Klein" is not your real name. Maybe your real name is Bozo.

Furthermore, I like Moody's writing. I enjoyed Garden State and Purple America in particular. I saw him read at HousingWorks in the city, a bookstore at which all profits go to helping the homeless, and he read the final story from his latest collection, and it was insanely real, about his sister's sudden death. Mr. Moody was stopping to wipe away tears every few lines and when it was over the whole crowd let out a relieved, 
pop-the-trance gasp, and he ran off to a backroom: easily the most emotionally charged, REAL reading I've ever seen. So no matter what sort of money Moody has, if he receives some more, that's fine, since I bet he'll do some good with it . . . and that Lisa Falour case is not something I'm interested in getting involved in, considering all the potential wrongs in the world that need righting. 

I am not a hardnose ass-kicking idealist. I am a bozo. I do not have strong opinions on one thing or the other. I have liberal idealist leanings, but am careful to see the otherside. Strong opinions lead to things like nazism or
terrorism or patriotism or war or murder, not "postmodern" thought. Basically, you pegged me - I'm a bozo, baby. I believe neither side/both sides are right. That's right. I'm a bozo, baby. I'm all about love . . . he

That's right! 

You see, Laundromatt (Dxxg leans back, lights a pipe) the eyeshot guy is a troll: that is, someone who came here just to fuck off. Which is fine, it's a noble way to waste time on the internet. I, personally, enjoy trolling guys like that -- ie, getting them to lose control, so they forget the little performance art piece they're so carefully working on. 

Eyeshot was a relatively easy mark. He's stick-stone stupid -- inadvertantly revealed that it was all a prank, proudly asserted that he was a wuss. All I had to do was attack his obvious soft spot, his insecure masculinity. I did, it worked. 

Now, you might say, doesn't revealing my plans ruin things for me? (Dxxg pours a glass of Langvulin). Well, see, I've already won, Laundromatt. I own his ass. He knows it, I know it. He knows that I had him pounding his keyboard, desperately trying to assert a masculinity he already denounced. So I may well ignore him completely after this. It'd all be anticlimatic anyways, huh? 

Or maybe not. We'll see.

Subject: In Which I Apologize for Everything I Have Done

I am a troll. I sleep beneath bridges and feed on goats. 
I am throop roebling. I am no one. I am a wuss. I am a 
blow hard. I am a golden god. I am tiger woods. You 
have insulted my honor. I threaten you to a duel. I am a literary spirit. I care, Mr. bASSxxx. I care about the literary status quo. I muck your rake. I fuck for the lord's sake. I believe genius finds a way, and you mr. bassxxx are proceeding in the wrong direction down the long road that began long ago when you inserted your head in your ass thinking you'd found a milk dud. I believe shitheads are flushed. They spend their lives complaining about how their poor zines aren't winning pulitzers and how real writers who know their shit and work hard are MFA pomo fakes etc while complaining and "naming names" and doing nothing more than asserting a sort of wounded pride, harnessing the reins to your inferiorty complexes, thinking the force of your shithead horses will take you to the top, when you so down, you underground! 

Take that bitch: booya!

Thou art either certifiably loony or a troll, my friend. I'm still betting on number #2. 

Remember: if I find it misfiled it's your ass, Cochise.

I am neither a looney nor a troll. I am a golden god! And I could kick the shit out of most anyone's enraged 
aunt, for I am, as the songwriters say, six foot four and full of muscle.
