    I think a good start is to look at: http://www.powerset.com/explore/semhtml/Derek_Raymond...and then also: http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/r/derek-raymond/

    He is an essential read...in any language...(since a lot of his stuff exists in French)...

    The language is as stunning as Ken Bruenıs...

    There are also recordings of him reading with members of Gallon Drunk rock group doing the music ..available on Netflix (I got it about 6 months ago)
