Anmerkungen
Neurotica served as an outlet for young writers and gained a reputation for publishing edgy material dealing with sex, the arts and neuroticism. This edginess was the magazine's downfall with issue 9, titled "The Castration Complex" gaining the attention of censors. Contributors i.a. Kenneth Patchen, Leonard Bernstein, Richard Rubenstein, Marshall McLuhan, Allan Ginsburg, William Steig, Lawrence Durrell, Henri Michaux and even a poem by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Including a 2nd printing of the first issue.
