Over the years, Frank Moore had attempted to find some one to write his biography but it never worked out. In 2010, he decided to start working on it himself.This book is the working document Frank created that he was working on, when he had time, up until his death in 2013. It covers his life up until around 1989.Frank constructed it primarily with the conversations he had with anthropologist Russell Shuttleworth from 1997 through 2009. The complete transcripts of those interviews are available in the book How to Handle an Anthropologist published in 2019 by Inter-Relations.

It is presented in its raw form, as Frank left it, in the hope it will be valuable for future researchers interested in Moore's life.

Harris evokes a compelling portrait of the multitalented artist as revealed through his personal papers and noteb...
Science and nature live in a sometimes indelicate balance in the rueful, sexual, and often disturbing work of American artist Frank Moore.
In this, the first collection of prose by "one of the U.S.'s most controversial performance artists" (P-Form Magazine), Frank Moore explores his deep and uncompromising vision of human liberation and art as a "battle against fragmentation". In the essays, writings and rants of Frankly Speaking, roughly covering the period from the late 1970s until his death in 2013, Moore reveals his plan for the complete political and social transformation of American society (see Platform for Frank's Presidential Candidacy 2008), stirs up the "art world", urging fellow artists to truly live their calling and not accept censorship (see Art is Not Toothpaste or The Combine Plot), pulls the reader deeply into...
