Epigonesia
The characters portrayed in this work are the product of the author’s speculative fictions and imagination, very loosely based on the actual persons themselves. This work is in no way designed to defame or libel the deceased persons of Ezra Pound, Louis-Ferdinand C éline, Charles Bukowski, Antonin Artaud, Hunter S.

This text is an exercise in caricature, satire, and speculation, and does not intend to cast these named persons in any claim to historical accuracy.
