Cultural Writing. Asian Studies. Photography. OUTCAST SAMURAI is a visual documentary of Japan's real dance avant-garde: the contemporary artists who are using their bodies to wage a creative revolution. Through the other-worldly movements of the experimental stage, these dancers are researching new possibilities for the body, methods for liberating gesture from the rigid constraints of the most choreographed culture on earth. With over fifty color photographs and an illuminating narrative, the book evokes a fever hallucination of movement, suturing the wound between past and future, East and West, art and necessity.

I Love Lord Buddha is the transgressive, transcendent first novel that some are calling the future of literature, and others are calling a post--pornographic revolution. Set in late-90's Tokyo, it recounts the history of the Neo-Geisha Organization, a sex-and-death cult with an anticonsumerist, pro-hedonist, sub-Buddhist ideology.
The novel takes its inspiration from the classical Japanese literature of the first millennium, the AUM Shinrikyo subway-gas cult, and the esoteric texts of Buddhism. Reading like manga, sounding like hard techno, feeling like fetish, I Love Lord Buddha paves the way for a new literature of undiluted aesthetics and ecstasy.
