Samuel Butler wrote "Erewhon" - the reverse of nowhere, yeah yeah i
know you know, but how many speakers of english as a second language know
that America is the land of the Naciremas?
"Erewhon" in part came out of Butler's exploration and later colonization
of New Zealand - how do the Maori call New Zealand?
being gay, Butler understood how a culture could pathologize people for a
physical constraint labeled an illness. a book he is better known for is
"The way of all flesh".
