Machiavellian melancholy, Burroughsian bohemia, Kafkaesque Kerouac, and a wild, unyielding humor abound! “From grammar school I’ve been able to draw or write things that made people laugh,” says the author, “and that has progressed into a kind of free-spirited entertainment.” Indeed, this is less a “Best of” collection as it is an editorial challenge, for the ten unique novels drawn upon and highlighted are themselves keys which urge further exploration of this fringe author’s striking works. “In all honesty, I love your manuscript and think it’s creative and hilarious…” —Caroline Lyddy Adult Trade Editorial Department, Houghton Mifflin

Prudholm Bay--a sleepy seaside community with a bad attitude. It may be the salty air, it may be the industrial plants, but Prudholm has nurtured quite an odd batch of townsfolk. When Ariel, the local party girl, is found floating in the waters near Prudholm's Nine Points lighthouse, it seemed like her story was over. With diligence and fervor, however, someone has been digging up her corpse and copulating with it. And the audacity of the necrophilia escalates while a relatively fruitless search ensues for her killer/defiler. Seeing his chance to capitalize on his town's misfortune, Anslo Creevington, the local millionaire, constructs a theme park dedicated to (and depicting) Ariel's various unearthings. Morals and scruples fly to the wind as the once-quiet Prudholm Bay plunges into a mudpile of argument and exploitation. From the book: "Was our action really so monstrous in a world where sirens have replaced birds in the night? A world where wars are conducted to sharpen the act of conducting..." Only one man can save Prudholm from its vapid course, and he's one of the prime suspects.

Out of a war which caused over 50,000,000 deaths comes the story of a dedicated life. Meet Francis Charles DiPietro, a young man from Cambridge, Massachusetts who is called from his education at Harvard University to serve his country in the most decisive hour of World War II. Like his father before him, who was a veteran of the Great War, Frank finds himself balancing his new regime with his loyal desire to maintain regular communications with his family. The letters in this book are a heretofore unpublished piece of American history, filled with valuable details concerning the day-to-day life of a front line infantry soldier. Having proven himself a sharpshooter in basic training, once in Europe Frank becomes part of the renowned 83rd Thunderbolt Division, one of the most successful and experienced divisions the army has ever seen. After the grueling winter trial in the Ardennes forest and Battle of the Bulge, Frank and the 83rd become the first American division to reach the Rhine river in Germany, quickly advancing 215 miles to the Elbe, capturing 24,000 German soldiers and liberating over 75,000 Allies as they help deliver the blow to German forces which ends the war in Europe.

This custom edition contains complete scans of Mr. DiPietro's actual letters from the war. Preserved for over 60 years, they give a valuable perspective on World War II through the eyes of Francis Charles DiPietro, a front line infantry soldier with the renowned 83rd Thunderbolt Division. Deployed to Europe in the most decisive hour of the war, Frank and the 83rd trudge through the Ardennes forest in waist-deep snow to push back the enemy forces in the Battle of the Bulge. They are the first American division to reach the Rhine river in Germany, establish the Elbe bridgehead, and help deliver the blow to Hitler's forces which ends the war in Europe. The letters are divided into three main groups: 1.) covering Frank's 17 weeks of basic training at Camp Wheeler in Georgia, 2.) the war in Europe and the maneuvers of the 83rd Division as they press back German forces, 3.) the obstacles of peace and military government which arise after the official German surrender in May of 1945.

The Afterlife Of Trisha Bumwood written by Francis DiPietro and has been published by iUniverse this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2000-12 with Fiction categories.
THE AFTERLIFE OF TRISHA BUMWOOD is a triumphant soap opera of symbolism and a natural page-turner. Francis DiPietro has created a multi-faceted gem of perspectives and philosophy. To pitch it in one short line: Jesus owns a convenience store. With that as a premise, we soon learn that he has fallen in love with Trisha Bumwood, mother of one and a first-time afterlifer. What is the afterlife? It's not what you might think. Purposes abound, strategy and scheming form potent undercurrents, and the cumulatively addictive viewpoints in narrative weave the most pleasant and intriguing of spells. Indeed, no other novel displays the collective omnipotents of God, Jesus, the devil, and the devil's son with such candor and flaw, clarity and guile. Other puissant parties are interested in Ms. Bumwood too, and she soon becomes the center for the affections of the most powerful beings in the afterlife. What they all don't know is Trisha Bumwood is destined to foil their little game, for she refuses to be a pawn, and ultimately discovers a path that is uniquely her own.

One man carries the weight of Generation X. Kyle Waterman, a mild-mannered insurance agent from Denver, quits his job and leaves his family to hop the first Greyhound to anywhere. He thought he was escaping, but with the help of a drug-laden Indian named Emerson Redcreek and a macho, arrogant wreck named Bill Capresci, Kyle finds himself transported to the world of Portobello: a Naked Lunch-type universe where gophers talk, drugs are king, and Kyle is the leader of a growing anti-establishment cult called Silverdew Gincane. With members joining at every stop, Kyle’s cult quickly becomes one of the greatest enemies of the U.S. government. He relocates his people to Paraguay--only to have an army and the ghosts of his past follow and destroy him. “A seminal tour de force. DiPietro is on the cutting edge of dangerous fiction with Portobello Road.”

In the great tradition of classic "Weird Tales" pulp and such groundbreaking authors as Robert E. Howard (Conan) and Roger Zelazny (Amber), Francis DiPietro has created an homage to dark humor and high adventure.

Swarm Of Five written by Francis DiPietro and has been published by iUniverse this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2006-08 with Fiction categories.
Stories in Swarm of Five stand in complimentary contrast to one another, united by an arc of succulent imagery and memorable characters. From the wild, chaotic, wry and politically apocalyptic overtones of "Beat Me Sweetly, Heavy Jesus" to the subtle complexities of retelling the life of an unknown hero in "Legacy of a Teacher," DiPietro strives to capture a diverse sampling from the borderlands of storytelling. The pseudo-autobiographical parody of "Groveling Music: The Soundtrack to My Remarried Life" presents the most engaging glimpse yet into the mind of this longtime author and veteran of the final age of pulp magazines, with DiPietro escaping to a park in Texas for six days while his new wife, half his age, goes to a resort spa to pamper herself at his expense. Insecurities and bawdy reminiscences abound as DiPietro, aging and rueful of his diminishing sexual prowess, travels the lonely spaces of America in deep thought and strange mood. Shorter works of "The Dojo Demon" and "When Pickpockets Collide" are experimental and wide-ranging psychological fantasies which explore the oft-dirty and unenviable depths of human machination. Swarm of Five accomplishes the difficult task of offering engaging tales in a spectrum of tastes and textures.
