<p>Known for his unique style of "docufiction" and "literary terrorism," Harold Jaffe has made a career out of exposing the latent realities embedded in our media-saturated consciousness. In INDUCED COMA, he furthers the project initiated in ANTI-TWITTER, a pastiche of 50-word stories based on "found" texts from mainstream news sources and other public sites. Jaffe sculpts them to reveal their inner core, all niceties stripped away so that the true motives, fears and sins of our age are on display. INDUCED COMA covers an extraordinary range of subjects-activist art, global warming, revolution, the entertainment industry, and the freakishly banal happenings of our day-to-day lives-all of which the author deconstructs to expose their ideological subtexts in uncanny ways. Satirical, critical, tragic and ruminative, Jaffe works every register and creates a bricolage that turns mass media inside-out.</p>

DEATH CAFE resumes and refines Harold Jaffe's ongoing anatomy of the world in pain. Featuring 19 innovative fictions and docufictions set in Africa, Europe, China, India, the Middle East, and the benighted US, the collection addresses issues of global warming, political defiance, committed art-making, dream space, and speculative discourse. As always, Jaffe works his literary voodoo in variable tonalities that are uncannily formulated, displaying unequal doses of razor-edged satire and compassion.

<p>The body is in pain. The collective body is in agony. As much as the isolated inner cities, as much as U. S. foreign policy, as much as institutionalized voodoo economics, it is the flesh and blood body which is a site of oppression and potential rebellion in the United States. Consider this image recalled by Dennis Barrie, director of the Contemporary Arts Center, Cincinnati. One day in 1990, while the Center was displaying Robert Mapplethorpe's "The Perfect Moment," about forty uniformed police officers walked into the Center and forcibly removed the patrons simply because they were looking at Mapplethorpe's photos. It is that image, Barrie says, "that's going to haunt me for the rest of my life. Because that isn't our country, or it shouldn't be our country."</p>

Our global society sanctifies commodities and consumables manufactured by multinationals as the hip, trendy, must-have; all else is abject, outcast.
