Byron

Byron the Bulb Spermatikos Logos was contacted by film-maker Karl Bjornsson, who informed us that he had made a short film based on a surreal incident in Gravity's Rainbow. Here is the information he sent us. Some years ago, I made a no-budget film about Byron the Bulb. Title: Byron Section: Dramatic Film makers: Bjornsson, Karl Specification: 18 min. COL 1994 $50 Description: An eternal light bulb, endowed with human consciousness and considerable wisdom, becomes the source of political and religious uproar. The authorities want it destroyed, but they have to compete with other parties, which, for a variety of reasons, are also eager to get their hands on Byron, the immortal light bulb. Inspired by a story by Thomas Pynchon. VHS copies can also be ordered directly from the director by emailing Karl Bjornsson. Return to Pynchonalia
