Summary:

"The Voidoid was written in 1973 in a little furnished room on East 10th Street. I was staying down the block overlooking the graveyard at St Mark's Church. Every day I'd take a cheap bottle of wine with me across the street to the $16-a-week room I'd rented for writing. Sometimes afterwards if l had some extra money I'd go the pharmacy on Second Avenue and buy a bottle of codeine cough syrup and come back and lie on the cot again... I still like this book a lot. When I typed up the final draft, I wanted to lay it all bare and expose it there, the paper sheets like settings for something, weird jewels, filthy aerial night photos, which when you looked inside them came alive. I hope it does something for you. I still can't help wishing it could do something intense."
