Michael Bowman,

Re: the different editions, from Clute's STROKES:

"Even the limited edition of the book [FREE LIVE FREE] . . . was so
clear and compulsive in the telling that it could be read at one long
go.  Slightly sharpened at points . . . and shorn of the dithery
Chapter 43 of the original version, FREE LIVE FREE now flows with an
unbroken liquid precision from this world to the last one, from dream
to a magically-achieved reality" (p. 162).
