My favourite ‘annual’, Strange Attractor arrived by post just after Christmas. Since picking up volumes 1 & 2 in Berlin in 2005 I eagerly await each issue. Packaged as a book, Strange Attractor is a series of quirky articles about the strange end of anthropology, culture, science, mysticism and religion.
In Issue 3 Erik Davis of Techgnosis fame writes about his travels to see the transvestite priests of Burma, for example, whilst there are other stories of the psychoactive animals, time machines, Arabic alchemy and a fascinating look at Hans Christian Andersen’s screen art (screen as in ‘room divider’).
