Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Croatian writer Janko PoliAe! Kamov died in Barcelona in 1910 aged 23. He left behind a small but potent collection of short stories, plays, poems and one novel which have been labelled as proto-modernist, avant-garde, absurdist, existentialist, futurist and even surrealist in nature. This is a collection of eight of his farces and four novellas painstakingly translated from Croatian into English. Many of the themes in Kamov's writings would reflect his real life experiences and are written in the first person or as his alter ego. During his short life he struggled to be accepted and published as a professional poet, dramatist and novelist. He is considered to be highly original writer for the period, despising bourgeois hypocrisy, injustice, ridiculing the social norms and niceties of the day. His work also deals with the darker side of the human psyche, madness, violence, sexual excess, alcohol, religious duality, the class system, poverty and the overall human condition. Most of his work didn't see the light of day until long after his death. He has been compared to Camus, Kafka and Joyce. The collection has been translated by Martin Mayhew so that his work can be appreciated outside of his native country and in doing so also creating a unique glossary of Kamov's vocabulary. This book has also be produced in the hope of funding for the translation of more of this outstanding author's work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Dante/Beckett reduction of human struggle to its lowest common denominator. Michael Mirolla' author of The Formal Logic of Emotion and Berlin. One of the most original and thought - provoking stories I have ever read...true literary art...Not a word is wasted in this masterpiece. Yes' I call it that. I have read many classics' and I can tell you that The Divine Farce should be counted among them; the finest in American literature. Geek scribe Three strangers are condemned to live together in darkness' crushed together in a concrete stall so small that they can never sit down. Liquid food drips down from above. Waste drains through a grid on the floor. So begins one of the strangest' most surreal comments on the human experience' on love and hatred and the human ability to find good in any situation' no matter how difficult. Michael S. A. Graziano delights in the macabre and surreal' yet it is his optimism that lifts this little novel. Like The Love Song of Monkey' this book is deeply thought provoking' horrifying' and funny. Praise for The Love Song of Monkey; Imaginative' intelligent narrative. Twin ideas of forgiveness and mercy twist through this strange' moving' patiently wrought novel.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fractured Frazzled Folk Fables and Fairy Farces is adult literature that satirizes classic children's folk tales, fables and fairy tales into more mature presentations featuring adult language, content and humor. Author Jay Dubya goes right to work retelling Aesop's Fables into "A Sap's Fables." Adult renditions of "The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse," "The Boy Who Cried Wolf," "The Wind and the Sun," "A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing," "The Lion and the Mouse," "The Crow and the Pitcher," and "The Rabbit and the Turtle" are all cleverly portrayed. Other famous fables rewritten into adult accounts are "The Fox and the Crow," "The Goose That Laid the Golden Egg," "The Grasshopper and the Ants," "The Lark and Its Offspring," "The Miller, His Son and the Jackass," "Belling the Cat" and finally "The Dog, the Fox and the Stream." Folk and Fairy Tales from England, France, Germany and Russia are also imaginatively assaulted and converted into adult-oriented stories. Jay Dubya thoroughly corrupts "The Three Little Piglet Brothers," "The Flashing Elves," "The Golden Goose's Goosing Curse," "The Notorious Sleeping Beauty" and "Petite Red Riding Hood." Other classic stories that are not saved from degeneration are "Jack's Magnificent Beanstalk," "Hansel and Gretel Dumkoff," "Little Ebony Sambo," "Rapunzel's Draping Hair" and "Tom Thumb's History." Finally, the author completely corrupts into adult parody rewrites "Peter W. and the Wolf," "The Rumpelstiltskin No-Spin Zone," "Beauty and the Beastly Beast," "Cinderella's Fella'" and the classic folktale "Flaky Snow White and the Seven Midgdwarfs." Fractured Frazzled Folk Fables and Fairy Farces is Jay Dubya's twenty-first book. This book is definitely not written for or to be read by children.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Pulitzer Prize “A masterwork . . . the novel astonishes with its inventiveness . . . it is nothing less than a grand comic fugue.”—The New York Times Book Review A Confederacy of Dunces is an American comic masterpiece. John Kennedy Toole's hero, one Ignatius J. Reilly, is "huge, obese, fractious, fastidious, a latter-day Gargantua, a Don Quixote of the French Quarter. His story bursts with wholly original characters, denizens of New Orleans' lower depths, incredibly true-to-life dialogue, and the zaniest series of high and low comic adventures" (Henry Kisor, Chicago Sun-Times).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A tale not to be taken too seriously, featuring cockroaches, genetically enhanced rats, foosball table destruction, rabbits, high school science clubs, hedgehog conspiracy theorists, military coups, adolescent bomb shelter romance and cosmic entities bent on annihilation. Sadly, not enough beer was drunk during creation of this novel to include an airplane lavatory sex scene. Oh wait, there is one of those. But don't get your hopes up - all the good parts are left out. The novel contains suggestive language (the PG-rated variety), and those seeking enriching literature are best served by looking elsewhere. However, if you are in the mood for a farcical comedy step right in, and meet: Arax the Annihilator, an entity bent on destroying the earth; Henry Stewart, member of the Hedgehog Surveillance Network, who hopes to be part of the New World Order after the government topples; Loretta the rabbit, who just wants to hop free in a meadow after a lifetime of captivity; Omar Sharteen, who wants to bomb his own Parliament building so the US will build a nice shiny new one; Mortimer Johnson, president of the Mount Carmel Junior High Science Club, who fears he has betrayed Science by having a crush on Alicia Fleppe; Peter the Cockroach, a prophet who sees cockroaches as the final survivors; Alice Walters, widow of a fallen soldier, who discovers her husband's secret life; June and Robert, a happy couple who might find more happiness than they can handle; Mark Andrews, who is in an underground bunker and is afraid to push the button when nuclear war is imminent; and a host of others, including but not limited to strippers, teachers, t-shirt vendors, bookstore clerks, football players, moths, prime ministers and cats. The author regrets immensely not having any zombies in this book. Or monkeys. Or zombie monkeys.

Excerpt: "Life is a vexatious trap; when a thinking man reaches maturity and attains to full consciousness he cannot help feeling that he is in a trap from which there is no escape."Ward No. Six (1892) Anton Chekhov (1860-1904) was a Russian physician, dramaturge and author who is often referred to as one of the seminal figures in the birth of early modernism in the theatre. He made no apologies for the difficulties he posed to the readers, insisting that the role of an artist was to ask questions, not to answer them.

THE PORTER is making up the beds in the upper and lower berths adjoining the seats on which a young mother, slender and pretty, with a baby asleep on the seat beside her, and a stout old lady, sit confronting each other-MRS. AGNES ROBERTS and her aunt MARY.
