Alexander Trocchi and Project Sigma

Over the years, Alex Trocchi’s importance to British underground culture has been sorely neglected. The only published biography deals with Trocchi solely as a literary figure and skims over his association with the likes of Wallace Berman, Guy Debord, RD Laing, William Burroughs, Michael X and others. Rather than restrict Trocchi to this literary classification and berate him for never having come up with the goods after a promising start, it is better to take him on his own terms: as an energised cultural catalyst, one interested in meta-categorical (r)evolt, the insurrection of a million minds.
