 American, 1913 - 1987. He is the only to arrive by chandelier -- and as such receives huge fucking kudos. Impeccably dressed, our women almost bend to a mysterious gravity. He is: Five times himself. He receives: Same thing. Presently a dead man, one of many, who have participated in Associationalist Agendizing. Or did he? Many participants in the movement describe Bester as a clamper, or worse, a kind of neo-Poob. Painter and poet William Flintrock reported: "He showed up to two, maybe ten parties at most, always blowing off about concrete poetry and wearing a silly rhinestone glove...." Adid corroborates the story, adding, "Yeah, I remember the glove -- one time I flushed it down the toilet and he went outside to dig up the septic tank. We all felt horrible, he was so attached to the damn thing -- but it was an affectation too far, you could say. The little sequin jobbies were always coming loose, the next day you'd find them everywhere. I thought at first they were listening devices." Bester is known to have introduced Addisson to the works of a then young Isaac Asimov, as well as several more obscure works of the sci-fi porn underground. A young Nevid Kessar, having read through some of this material he found in a trunk at Stimes' Arlington, Virginia, rumpus room, went on to produce To Hear Dreams Around Noon. Known WorksThe Deceivers The Demolished Man Stars My Destination The Computer Collection, for this last he was excommunicated between beers, for his "lack of silence." See Also
