OFFAL is back with its second issue, with another thrilling trip through literary leftovers, artistic experiments and found fragments. Highlights include author Richard Milward’s manifesto for living a ‘liberated lavvy’ (written in Polari, the almost-forgotten gay slang), a dialogue-free play by Tom McCarthy, an essay by Daniel Pinchbeck, plus fragments of fiction from Labeja Kodua Okullu, Kirsty Allison, Henderson Downing and Timothy J Jarvis.

Also featuring Offalism (A Manifesto), a guide to cooking the mythical Three-Angel Roast, a poem about Margate called ‘The only way to change things is to shoot men who curate things…’, and a 1953 speech by Allen Dulles, first director of the CIA, warning of Russian psy-op campaigns.

OFFAL #2 includes a free download of all 12 episodes of Offal Season Two, the cult AI-voiced ‘audio zine’, plus an exclusive 60-minute DJ Offalmix from in-house producer Brad Muscle. There’s also a pull-out A2 poster of ‘Selected Lyrical Works’, the collected lyrics of Aphex Twin 1991–2025.

All watched over by Dr Smile, Offal’s AI recreation of a fictional construct from a novel by Philip K Dick – now in-house psychotherapist in a suitcase, and Synthetic Oversight Entity (Publishing).

Edited by Mark Blacklock (Hinton, I’m Jack – Granta) & Roderick Stanley (Dazed & Confused, Good Trouble). Designed by Richard Turley (Interview, Civilization, Nuts) & Julia Schäfer (MoMA PS1). Published by Offal Industries and distributed by Public Knowledge Books.
