"Honest, not evasive of complicity... it blasts beyond traditional authority, be that religious or scholarly." - Ewan Fernie
A Shaken Bible began as a casual experiment after a Gillian Rose conference. It then developed into a hyper-redacted overhaul of the King James Bible of 1611, which returned the heretics and ranters to its pages, Blake included. It also gave the bible a proletarian gob.
The late Andrew Shanks-who contributed the preface-correctly identified a 'moral longing' in the urge to return to these texts, but this can only ever be a deracinated exercise, in our continuing epoch of nihilism, as Nietzsche defined it.
A Shaken Bible evolves slowly, across editions. This new edition also presents a revised essay on the text by the author.
STEVE HANSON completed an MA and PhD at Goldsmiths. Small Towns, Austere Times was published in 2014, by Zero Books. Following a fire in a rental house which nearly killed him-due to a faulty fusebox-he switched to experimental writing. Proceedings, The General and Last Days of Pompeii: A Comedy are just some of the titles published in the intervening years.
