It includes two interviews in which Huges is questioned by Joey Mellen who is one of Huges most enthusiastic followers and who, like Huges, performed an auto-trepanation. Suikergoed \u0026amp; Marsepin was first issued in 1968 with this second edition appearing a year later with the long essay by Hübner “On the Taboo of the Soul”. Bart and Barbara intended this collection of articles and interviews as an adjunct to and an expansion of the ideas initially set out in Huges’s celebrated scroll written in prison and then published in facsimile in English and Dutch.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRef. 4636\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSelling with items 4635 and 4512.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HUGES, Hugo Bart","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64982620275065,"sku":null,"price":12500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1484\/0910\/files\/HUGESHugoBart_f9ccab96-31ff-4836-866c-2dea8c230a2b.jpg?v=1792763853","url":"https:\/\/voewoodrarebooks.com\/products\/suikergoed-marsepein","provider":"Voewood Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
