EARTH ‘A RUN RED: Impressionistic notes on Pierre Guyotat’s ‘Tomb for 500,000 Soldiers’

The intense novels of Pierre Guyotat, from Tomb for 500,00 Soldiers to the banned Eden Eden Eden, are a challenging read that draw upon his witnessing the atrocities of the Algerian Civil War. Here, Howard Slater, instead of attempting an impossible exegesis, offers a readers-report, an impressionistic mélange, of the latter novel, first published in France in 1967 and translated into English by Creation Books in 2003.

In each issue there is an extensive record review section as well as detailed book reviews, comics and news items.Datacide is not affiliated with or part of any specific political group but engages in a revolutionary critique that rejects the historically discredited strains of leftism associated with Social Democracy and Leninism, drawing instead on the rich heritage of dissident Marxism, libertarian communism and critical theory.Datacide is a critical voice in the increasingly irrational and rightward lurching 'posttruth' times of conspiratorial world views and identity politics.
