Softcover. Condizione: Good. First Edition. Written in the epic style of Homer, Honk If You Love Aphrodite is a modern-day tale of one man's odyssey across New York City to the woman he adores. Aphrodite, goddess of love, sends her son to deliver this mortal Stanley Short-Sleeves from many perils; the treacherous subway and underworld below it; a bewitching Voodoo dancer; a drug dealer whose turf Stanley trangresses; and strange women unaccountably besotted with him. However, the greatest obstacle is not the colorful mortals Stanley encounters, or even the gods of the modern world, but rather Stanley's own divided heart. Does he truly want to return to the woman, as he claims? It is the duty of the son of Aphrodite to find out before the dawn. This swift, hilarious adventure sweeps the reader through the city, and ultimately through the many faces of love in our time.

Softcover. Condizione: Good. Main. In this scintillating collection of stories Puerto Rican writer Ana Lydia Vega exposes machismo, Caribbean style. With deft pastiches of genre fiction - the thriller, the historical romance, the bodice ripper - she turns the traditions of Latin American fiction on their heads and produces a work that critically reflects the influence of US culture. Though her stories appear in many anthologies, this is the first collection of Ana Lydia Vega's work to be published in English. It showcases one of the provocative 'post-feminist' voices of the continent.

Prima edizione
Softcover. Condizione: Good. First Edition. Hardboiled in Hollywood tells the story of the tangled relations between the great crime novelists, from Dashiell Hammett to Elmore Leonard, and the Hollywood machine. Haut begins by showing the huge debt Hollywood owed to writers like Hammett, Chandler and James M. Cain, as the film versions of novels like The Maltese Falcon, The Big Sleep and Double Indemnity came to define film noir. Almost every significant American crime novelist since has served their time in Hollywood, some, like W.R. Burnett or Donald Westlake, with great success, more often, as with the likes of Jim Thompson and David Goodis, with great disillusion. Haut weaves in anecdote and analysis along with original interviews to provide an invaluable companion for moviegoers and crime fiction fans alike.Born in Detroit in 1945, Woody Haut has been a cinema programmer and, as journalist, was the Labour Editor for Rolling Stock magazine. He is the author of Neon Noir and Pulp Culture, published by Serpents Tail and now lives in London.Also available by Woody HautPulp CultureTP $15.99, 1-85242-319-6 CUSANeon NoirTP $16.99, 1-85242-547-4 CUSA.

Softcover. Condizione: Good. Translated By Helen R. Lane. Juan Goytisolo focuses on the surreal exploration and rejection of his own roots, Catholic Spain's repression of Muslims, Jews and gays, his ancestors' exploitation of Cuban slaves and his own forging of a language at once poetic, politic and ironic that celebrates the erotic act of writing and and the anarchic joy of being the ultimate outsider. In Juan the Landless the greatest living novelist from Spain defiantly re-invents tradition and the world as a man without a home, without a country, in praise of pariahs.
