Welcome to Hilaritas Press
an enterprise of the Robert Anton Wilson Trust
Publishing rights to nineteen of Robert Anton Wilson’s books have reverted to the RAW Trust which will republish these books in the coming months through the Trust’s new publishing house, Hilaritas Press. Like many authors, Bob had, shall we say, a colorful relationship with his publishers. With the advent of new publishing technologies, Bob’s family (the RAW Trust) is eager to offer new and improved editions of these nineteen books. We are going word-by-word through each book, and finding a number of needed corrections (mostly typos), as well as improving, when possible, book graphics. While editing, we are keeping in mind Bob’s observation from Prometheus Rising, “Wilson’s Tenth Law: no matter how many times a writer proofs a book, hostile critics will always find at least one error that he missed.” Instead of hostile critics, we have friendly editors, and the help of Bob’s friends when a typo presents a challenge. Such was the case when editing Quantum Psychology. One paragraph describing Bob’s thoughts on an aspect of quantum mechanics had a typo that probably left many readers aware of an issue, but unsure of what the correction should be. We had an idea for a fix, and sent that idea off to physicist Nick Herbert (one of physicists featured in Quantum Psychology). Nick verified that our correction was correct (minor celebrations here in the office that we actually understood that aspect of quantum mechanics!). Needless to say, this is a tedious process, but fortunately, we never tire from re-reading the works of Robert Anton Wilson. After this initial setup, Hilaritas Press will be looking for adventurous authors with new works to include in the Hilaritas Press family. Keep tuned for future details.

The story behind the Cosmic Trigger Audio Book
/4 Comments/in Hilaritas Press News /by adminHow do you recite a graph? How do you describe an illustration? Above all, how do you capture for so many paragraphs that deep, rolling, barely modulating tone that Wilson had, which carried his bright intelligence so clearly to so many?
