Damon Knight recounts that Larry Shaw did indeed use the
pseudonym N. R.
(for "Not Really") DeMexico in his history of the NYC-based
group of young writers, artists, and editors THE FUTURIANS
(John Day 1977, iirc). But 1944 might be a bit early for him.
Then again, maybe not. TM

Madman on a Drum is an obscure book by N. R. De Mexico,
published as a paperback original by Cavalcade in 1944.
As far as I know, nobody knows whether de Mexico (also
the author of the highly collectible Marijuana Girl) isa real
name or a pen name. If it's a pen name, two people (including
Larry Shaw) have been suggested as possibilities.
