La Commedia Sotterranea della Macchina da Scrivere
Marc ZegansLa Commedia Sotterranea della Macchina da Scrivere is a gathering ofverse fragments and collages describing and illustrating the life of theTypewriter Underground, a spontaneous sub-cultural phenomenon
that appeared with near simultaneity in a variety of cities and smallerlocales across the globe in the late 20th and early 21st Century. The
Commedia (commonly referred to as Felt’s First Folio from TheTypewriter Underground, a private publication putatively issued bySwizzle Felt, an early participant in the Underground and an avid
collector of its ephemera) offers a lively a picture of life in thissubterranean community. The verse fragments appearing in La
Commedia have the quality of the early gospels—personal accounts ofauthors who lived contemporaneously with the Underground, and
were among its early apostles.
