At the age of thirteen, Danny Sugerman- the already wayward product of Beverley Hills wealth and privilege- went to his first Doors concert. He never looked back. He became Jim Morrison's protégé and- still in his teens- manager of the Doors and then Iggy Pop. He also plunged gleefully into the glamorous underworld of the rock 'n' roll scene, diving headfirst into booze, sex and drugs: every conceivable kind of drug, ever day, in every possible permutation. By the age of twenty-one he had an idyllic home, a beautiful girlfriend, the best car in the world, two kinds of hepatitis, a diseased heart, a $500 a day heroin habit and only a week to live. He lived. This is his tale. Excessive, scandalous, comic, cautionary and horrifying, it chronicles the 60s dream gone to rot and the early life of a Hollywood Wild Child who was just brilliant at being bad.

Luminous and intensely personal, Art and Madness recounts the lost years of Anne Roiphe’s twenties, when the soon-to-be-critically-acclaimed author put her dreams of becoming a writer on hold to devote herself to the magnetic but coercive male artists of the period. Coming of age in the 1950s, Roiphe, the granddaughter of Jewish immigrants, grew up on Park Avenue and had an adolescence defined by privilege, petticoats, and social rules. At Smith College her classmates wore fraternity pins on their cashmere sweaters and knit argyle socks for their boyfriends during lectures. Young women were expected to give up personal freedom for devotion to home and children. Instead, Roiphe chose Beckett, Proust, Sartre, and Mann as her heroes and sought out the chaos of New York’s White Horse Tavern and West End Bar. She was unmoored and uncertain, “waiting for a wisp of truth, a feather’s brush of beauty, a moment of insight.” Salvation came in the form of a brilliant playwright whom she married and worked to support, even after he left her alone on their honeymoon and later pawned her family silver, china, and pearls. Her near-religious belief in the power of art induced her to overlook his infidelity and alcoholism, and to dutifully type his manuscripts in place of writing her own. During an era that idolized its male writers, she became, sometimes with her young child in tow, one of the girls draped across the sofa at parties with George Plimpton, Terry Southern, Doc Humes, Norman Mailer, Peter Matthiessen, and William Styron. In the Hamptons she socialized with Larry Rivers, Jack Gelber and other painters and sculptors. “Moderation for most of us is a most unnatural condition . . . . I preferred to burn out like a brilliant firecracker.” But while she was playing the muse reality beckoned, forcing her to confront the notion that any sacrifice was worth making for art. Art and Madness recounts the fascinating evolution of a time when art and alcohol and rebellion caused collateral damage and sometimes produced extraordinary work. In clear-sighted, perceptive, and unabashed prose, Roiphe shares with astonishing honesty the tumultuous adventure of self-discovery that finally led to her redemption.

The horrific murders of close friends, coupled with threatening notes and blood-dipped magnolias would be enough to rattle anyone. Victoria LeJeune, a bold and beloved woman, is no exception. Join this fiercely independent and successful owner of high-class Victorian burlesque clubs in her efforts to figure out these crimes. Are they linked to her business, her work against human trafficking in New Orleans, or are they personal? Experience her terror increasing as the danger comes closer and closer to home. And when you put the book down to go on with your life, ask yourself, Who can you really trust? Surrounded by friends and strangers both indebted and worshipful--from Alex, her housekeeper, boyfriend Connor, employees, law enforcement and those on the other side of the law, Victoria LeJeune should feel safe and loved. Yet, abandoned by her mother as a child, she is plagued by loneliness. Working to battle the human-trafficking problem in New Orleans helps a bit until the deaths of her friends bring her loneliness to the surface once again. Aided by New Orleans police detective Bryan Thibodeaux—her childhood friend--Victoria determines that her work against human trafficking is the only link to the murdered women. Feeling confused and overwhelmed by uncertainty, Victoria and Bryan drive down the bayou to visit her Cajun grandmother (and Voodoo priestess) for guidance and wisdom. Victoria also turns for information to wealthy, vampire-coven leader Stuart Bastogne, the one man she’s ever truly loved, and Bryan’s arch enemy. Despite his own shady business dealings, Stuart partners with FBI agent Robert Landers to share tips from both sides of the law. Landers, investigating a diamond-smuggling ring in New Orleans, sidesteps department regulations to get closer to Victoria, all in the line of duty, of course. Surprising twists and turns of events lead to everyone’s increasing desperation to prevent another gruesome murder. As this shifting group of Victoria’s friends, lovers, and enemies seeks answers, they learn about themselves, each other and the greying line between good and evil.

What happens to the family of seven motherless children over the years will shake you to the core.

Albert Lucky has hit a wall. He’s a middle-aged loser, adrift in middle management in a big-box retail store. At work he has started talking to phantoms instead of customers. He has become unkempt and slovenly. Then, there is an awakening. Great energies pour into him from Divine places, harkening him back to miraculous visions he experienced as a teen. Thus begins an epic journey of reconciliation that is graced with a bevy of characters, including the owner of a big-box retail behemoth, who happens to be a former live wrestling champion. Meet also a Native American woman, who is a paralegal in a run-down law firm; Albert’s wife, children, and unflappable dog; and an unorthodox private investigator who can’t decide if he’s Hindu or Mennonite. The unexpected happens in this gripping account of spiritual and psychological growth. Tearing Up the Avenue is a novel about loss and the experience of terrible abuse, but also a book about love, prophecy, and mysticism at the highest level. Albert Lucky finds himself at the center of a whirlwind of profound vision and insight in the midst of what was a relentlessly drab life. Incredible events and revelations abound.

This volume is a study of eight major novels from the postwar period (1945-65) in conjunction with the films made from them during a later period of a little less than three decades straddling the millennium (1985-2012). The comparison of these novels (by Ken Kesey, Paul Bowles, Carson McCullers, Jack Kerouac, James Baldwin, Alexander Trocchi, William Burroughs, and Peter Matthiessen) with their film adaptations offers the opportunity for a historical reassessment not only of the novels themselves but also of the global counterculture of the years 1965-75, which they prefigure in a variety of ways. Appearing more than a decade after the waning of the counterculture and in some cases as much as fifty years after the novels on which they are based, the films display significant revisions and omissions prompted by the historical and cultural changes of the intervening years. Whereas these changes are nowadays often interpreted in purely political terms, this book argues that the religious theme of mystery and its decline is central to the novels and films and is a key feature of the period of cultural transformation that they bookend. At once a work of literary criticism, film studies, and cultural history, this text has the potential to reach both an academic audience and the broader readership that has long existed for these novels as well as the even broader one interested in reappraising the period of the global counterculture—among the most important of the influences that have shaped the contemporary world.

It was in Gramercy Park. As you may or may not know, Gramercy Park is the least noisy spot in the metropolitan Bedlam. Without being unreasonably aristocratic it is sedate and what agents call exclusive. The park itself is essentially that. Its design is rather English. The use is restricted to adjoining residents. About it is a fence of high iron. Within are trees, paths, grasses, benches, great vases and a fountain. But none of the usual loungers, none of the leprous men, rancid women, and epileptic children[10] that swarm in other New York squares. Yet these squares are open to all. To enter this park you must have a key. By day it is a playground. Nurse-maids come there with little boys and girls, the subdued, undemonstrative, beautifully dressed children of the rich. At night it is empty as a vacant bier. In a house that fronted the north side Royal Loftus lived with his mother, a proud, arrogant woman socially known to all, but who socially knew but few. Behind her, in the shade of the family tree, was her dead lord, Royal's father and, more impressively still, the latter's relatives, the entire Loftus contingent, a set of people super-respectable, supernally rich. She too was rich. She wore a wig, walked with a staff, spoke with a Mayfair intonation in a high-pitched voice, and, in the amplitudes of widowhood and wealth, entertained frequently but cared only for her son.
