Robert Anton Wilson draft typescript 1978-1984

Scope and Contents

From Michael and Cynthia Horowitz's notes: Berkeley novelist, Leary collaborator and co-author. Original typescript of what appears to be the first draft copy of the three-volume novel, heavily revised in the author's hand, with sheets of text inserted or pasted in. 116 leaves. The Schrodinger's Cat trilogy (1979-1981) is one of Wilson's most ambitious and beloved novels. It consists of three volumes: The Universe Next Door, The Trick Top Hat, and The Homing Pigeons. Wilson set the three books in differing alternative universes, and most of the characters remain almost the same but have slightly different names and different careers and background stories. The books cover the fields of quantum mechanics and the varied philosophies and explanations that exist within that science. The single volume edition (1984) is self-described as a magical textbook and a type of initiation.

Robert Anton Wilson typescript 1977

Scope and Contents

From Michael and Cynthia Horowitz's notes: The Cosmic Trigger: Final Secret of the Illuminati, photocopy of late draft, 228 pages, bound in blue wrappers, incorporating corrections and revisions by the author and the copyeditor in the photocopy. [Berkeley: And/Or Press 1977.] The book was published that year, with a foreword Timothy Leary. Publisher's typewritten sticker on front cover, has, in addition to title, author, and copyright date, the following: "This copy for Tim Leary. Manuscript in Progress." This copy was sent to Leary for the purpose of writing the foreword, which Leary provided, as well as a back cover blurb. Leary figures very prominently in the book-one of Wilson's most widely read and loved. Other than Joanna Leary and his archivist Michael Horowitz, Wilson was the closest person to Leary during his imprisonment following his capture in Afghanistan and return to the US in Jan. 1973. He went on to become an important literary collaborator, as well as being an indefatigable public defender of Leary as one of the most important political prisoners in recent American history. Cosmic Trigger is the story of their relationship, in which ideas played perhaps the largest part. Wilson was also the most articulate interpreter of Leary's ideas from Neuro/ogic (1973) through Terra II (1974) to Exo Psychology (1977). In addition, the two co-authored a full-length book, "The Periodic Table of Energy." integrating classic occult systems with theories of contemporary physics and biology, which was never published. Tim Leary probably received this copy shortly after he was released from prison under a cloud in 1976, living underground for awhile before emerging in the LA milieu. His blurb appears on the back cover of the published edition of Cosmic Trigger.
