TAKASHI NEMOTO: Monster Men Bureiko Lullaby; Paperback
194 pages Controversial/Underground/Japanese/Comic/Manga/Obscene, Paperback - RARE!
If you can't tell from the cover and synopsis, the book is fairly obscene. The humor is sub-scatological. The drawing style is brutally ugly. But it is an incredibly unique and entertaining work that is well worth your time. Nothing escapes Nemoto's scathing, misanthropic satire here, from radiation victims to hyper-masculinity - even the manga industry itself gets torn apart. This is an absolute must for any lover of underground and alternative comics, or outsider art in general. You will have never read anything like it. A seminal work of manga from the mid-1980s, Monster Men Bureiko Lullaby is a Candide-esque tale--if you can picture Candide as a mutated sperm brought to life by radioactivity. Unremittingly explicit, direct, honest and insightful while simultaneously beautiful and grotesque. Due to his unapologetically squalid subject matter, surreal drawing style and pessimistic, satirical stance, Nemoto has long been a controversial figure in Japan.

INDEX Peter Sotos (1998); Paperback
Large format paperback - Used, (Ex)
Sotos is one of a kind and his shocking and confrontational work is a sexual ground zero; he writes the most disturbing, provocative material (this book, as well as his other ones - TOTAL ABUSE, SPECIAL, and LAZY) about sex and pornography available today. As precise and articulate as he is (possibly) insane, Sotos may well be the De Sade or Bataille for the 21st century.

FAMOUS FOR 15 MINUTES: My Years With Andy Warhol (1998) Ultra Violet; Hardcover
Warhol/Pop Art/Art/New York Hardcover, Used (Ex)
Relying on memory, diaries, tapes, recorded phone calls and interviews, as well as on printed matter, Dufresne (aka Ultra Violet), assisted by freelancer Black, tells about her experiences as an Andy Warhol Queen of Pop. After recalling briefly her schoolgirl days in France, she describes her affairs with John Graham, Salvador Dali and Edward Rusche, her carryings-on in New York society, bizarre happenings at Warhol's famous loft, The Factory, her impressions of Edie Sedgwick, Viva and Norman Mailer, the making of light-shows and stupefyingly dull movies, Warhol's fascination with celebrities and his desire to become a male Marilyn Monroe. Trying to account for Warhol's attractiveness and the fact that he remained famous for 25 years, not just 15 minutes, she cites his enigmatic quality, his insistence on taking the mystery out of art, and his treatment of everyone with the same compelling immediacy. Yet she also sees the pre-1968 artist, sorcerer, conjuror and diabolist succeeded by the businessman, money-man and accumulator of his later years. Like Warhol's film Chelsea Girls , this book may be regarded as "half Bosch and half bosh." Glitz in a bygone era best describes this personal account of a world of art, drugs, and sex, as told by one of Warhol's constant companions of the Sixties, Ultra Violet. Ultra Violet (ne Isabelle Dufresne) tells the story of parallel lives, hers and Warhol's, from birth to superstars of the Sixties to Warhol's death in 1987. She focuses on the infamous Factory at its peak with its regulars, Edie Sedgwick, Rod le Rod, and Vivaas well as its celebrity visitors, Bob Dylan, Truman Capote, and John Lennon, among others. Fascinating reading, shocking, graphic, and entertaining.
