Minus One (1963)

An Individualist Anarchist Review · 1963–1980

Publisher: Sidney E. Parker
Editor(s): Sidney E. Parker
City: London, United Kingdom
Language: English
Frequency: irregular
TitleID: MINONEXX-1963

The opening editorial rejects appeals to an undifferentiated mass public and presents individualist anarchism as a practice of personal sovereignty, authentic individual reaction, and voluntary association among thinking individuals rather than a program for capturing or directing the masses.

Sidney E. Parker’s first long-running journal. The numbering began with no. 1 in September 1963 and continued sequentially through no. 44 in 1980. The early issues generally carried the subtitle “An Individualist Anarchist Review,” although later subtitle formulations varied. No. 38 appeared in February 1977 under the title EGO, with “incorporating MINUS ONE”; no. 39 reverted to Minus One because another publication already used the title EGO, and Parker directed that EGO no. 1 be regarded as Minus One no. 38. Some issues in the run were also titled The Egoist. A separate EGO series, with numbering restarted, began in 1982. Before No. 29 Parker informed some readers that the journal would be renamed Retort beginning with that issue, but No. 29 rescinded the announcement and retained Minus One. Its imprint describes the journal as “an irregular review for individualists, anarchists and egoists.”. No. 38 was issued under the printed title EGO as Number One, with the subtitle “An Individualist Review” and the statement “Incorporating MINUS ONE.” No. 39 reverted to Minus One because another publication already used EGO, and Parker directed that EGO No. 1 be treated as Minus One No. 38.

Minus One No. 1

An Individualist Anarchist Review
September 1963
Edited by Sidney E. Parker

The issue consists of a front cover, six consecutively numbered pages, one unnumbered literature page, and a back cover. No blank inside-cover surface is present, so the total physical extent remains unresolved. The textual contents appear complete and correctly ordered. The issue prints “Number One” and does not print a volume designation. The title and subtitle are hand-lettered or typewritten on page 1; the title is accented in red. Sidney Parker’s opening editorial begins on page 1 and continues on page 6. “Freedom,” signed Sisyphus, occupies pages 2–4 and begins with three attributed quotations. “The Joy of Living,” by Armand and translated by D.S.M., appears on page 5. Page 6 also carries a Max Stirner quotation. The unnumbered literature page advertises works by E. Armand and Max Stirner and requests three works by Michael Artzibashev. The back cover identifies the publisher as Sidney Parker, 76 Ansdell Rd., London, S.E.15, England. A retrospective statement in Minus One No. 15 records that No. 1 had a print run of seventy copies.

The issue consists of ten pages and is complete and correctly ordered, with no separate cover or wrapper. The first issue page is unnumbered but functions as page 1 because the following page is numbered 2 and pagination continues through page 10. The issue is complete and correctly ordered, with no separate cover or wrapper. The masthead prints Minus One, No. 33, 1974. Page 1 contains Wm. Flygare’s poem “Calls to Betray Me” and the publisher’s imprint. Pages 2–6 contain “Dora Marsden: Selections from Her Writings on Egoism,” introduced by S.E.P., with excerpts titled “The Woman Movement,” “Freedom,” “The Worker,” and “Anarchism, Archism and the State.” Page 6 also contains a contact notice for the Association Max Stirner du Kebec. Pages 7–9 contain Pierre Jouventin’s “An Autopsy of the French Anarchist Movement,” divided into “The Identity of the Corpse,” “The Proof of Death,” “The Cause of Death,” and “Eulogy of the Dead,” and dated 14.1.74. Page 9 also contains Domenico Pastorello’s “Some Last Words” and a Revisionist Press advertisement soliciting manuscripts on Stirner, Mackay, and individualist anarchism. Page 10 contains two reviews: Stephen Marletta on Leonardo Bettini’s Bibliografia dell’anarchismo and S.E.P. on Ian Rostron and J.K. Sowerby’s The Wind’s Not Cold, It’s Invisible.

Minus One No. 34, p. 7, prints Pierre Jouventin’s statement that he did not recognize S.E. Parker’s English translation of “An Autopsy of the French Anarchist Movement.” Parker reports commissioning a new translation, concedes that inserting “French” into the title was ill-advised and that he missed rhetorical force and reduced wording in places, but denies any serious distortion.
