loppear reviewed Avant Gardening by Peter Lamborn Wilson
"Materialism's hunger will never be sated by consumption"
3 stars
Random slice of 1998 guerilla urban gardening, essays calling for a Lower East Side Autonomous Zone, reporting on specific garden sites histories and fight back against Giuliani's redevelopment auctions, and broader takes on biotech, horticulture vs agriculture, and more from NYC and Madison WI. Eerily relevant in strange and mixed ways, the editor is concretely-and-earthly dismissive of a friend who "recently told me he was devoting himself to fighting fascism on the internet".
