An Experience of the Ineffable Untold Delight

Description

John Moore was a member of the Anarchist Research Group in London in the 1980s, one of the main theorists of the pro-Situ anarchism of the 1990s (most commonly associated with Hakim Bey), and was attracted to anarcho-primitivism in particular; his best known work is the essay “A Primitivist Primer.”

He was heavily influenced by Fredy Perlman of Black and Red fame, and later also was excited by theorists of language and subjectivity, like Julia Kristeva, Friedrich Nietzsche and Max Stirner.

During his lifetime he published several short books: Anarchy and Ecstasy, Lovebite, and The Book of Levelling. An anthology he was working on at the time of his death, I Am Not A Man, I Am Dynamite! Friedrich Nietzsche and the Anarchist Tradition, was completed by Spencer Sunshine and published posthumously by Autonomedia in 2004.

…An Experience of the Ineffable, Untold Delight is a collection of some less common essays by Moore, as well as his best-known piece, “A Primitivist Primer.”
