Come along on a bizarrely entertaining journey deep into the rotting soul of America. Lee Pefley, a man who make misanthopy look benevolent, decides to flee the decay and drudgery of New York city for his childhood Alabama. Accompanied by his beloved wife Judy ("short and possibly getting shorter"), $19,000 in hundred-dollar bills, a supply of pilfered library books, and a pistol, Lee sets out on a bleakly hilarious tour of the easter nstates. A passionate lover of classical literature, an incurable kleptomaniac, an overwrought paranoid, and a hopeless insomniac, Lee looks at the world through uniquely hallucinatory, and definitely not rose-colored, glasses. The view is spectacularly original.

His one consolation An opportunity to chase down his beloved wife who had preceded him in death a few years before he had contrived his own.Equipped with his walking cane, a book of matches, a pair of pretty good shoes, and a tourist brochure, he makes slow progress through a landscape that bears an uncanny resemblance to the America that he thought he had left behind.Perdue has been compared to writers from Faulkner to Beckett, and in Fields of Asphodel we are reintroduced to one of our true literary talents and to Leland Pefley, a truly powerful fictional creation.

Tells the story of Leland Pefley, a cantankerous, elderly man who is filled with madness but who creates a gorgeous world of his own, filled with people with perfect souls. Reprint.

Reuben

Under the tutelage of Lee Pefley, Reuben learned what must be done. And when the time came, he left Alabama and took up the task of conquering the world, or at least the Occidental share of it. This novel is a chronicling of Reuben's necessary, great, and terrible deeds.     The unforgettable character of Lee Pefley embodies a paradox-that some of those who seem by today's standards to be the most acerbic, the most misanthropic, the most 'irrelevant' and 'out of touch' may secretly be the greatest idealists of all.

The Smut Book

“This is what you will remember—where you were and what you did when face to face in the dark with certain persons. Everything else falls away, lost in the backwash of time.”—From the author “Chances are, there’s more smut in the mind of the average reader than in the pages Tito Perdue’s The Smut Book. This is a gently wry novel about a pre-teen boy’s awakening interest in the opposite sex, set in 1950 in a small Alabama town. It is a world in which healthy youngsters grow up fast, barely contained by close families, hovering teachers, and chaperoned dances. But it seems as decorous as a Jane Austen novel from the vantage point of our hypersexualized, smut-inundated present, even though it was less than a lifetime ago.”—Greg Johnson, author of Toward a New Nationalism

When an individual or a whole race becomes aware of its impending doom, atavistic things happen. This is the story of a cartel of some two score of resolute but highly idiosyncratic men resolved to reset post-modern American society. Septuagenarians and older, unafraid of death and even hungering for it, they have pooled their talents and funds to change the course of history. Then they squander it all in a single act of suicidal violence. It seemed like a good idea at the time.

Love Song of the Australopiths

He had a telescope in fixed position, a half-dozen semi-domesticated pet raccoons, and a trove of alcoholic beverages. Had other things, including the normal pots and pans, drinking vessels, a .357 magnum 8-shot Smith and Wesson revolver and, at great expense, a battery-driven water purification distillery fed from the nearby creek. Had nine dark suits of various weights and shades of blue. He also owned a supply of mysterious-looking ties ordered from the Duchamp Company in London, England. Dressed thus, no one bothered him or suspected the sort of person that he was.
