2011 four CD ‘audio book’ from the guitarist, songwriter and Alt-Rock legend. After being published as a book in 1997, Victory Chimp returns as an audio book. Not just any audio book, but a nextlevel audio book, which is only fitting given Victory Chimp’s once-and-future status as an out-level sci-fi paperback. The concept of reading with your ears is surely a nonsequitur that fits the logic of Victory Chimp, where sound is used not simply to create atmosphere, but to pace and forward the narrative. It’s not quite the ‘total work of art’ imagined by Wagner before he sound tracked the Holocaust, but VC pictures fascism as well, albeit from a radically different angle. And so we make the comparison.
