After the Octopus is the action-packed, stand-on-its-own, laugh-riot sequel to After the Orange Glow. It’s also the final installment in Mark Spitzer’s four-part series about living the life of an outlaw poet forty years too late.   It’s the age of Grunge and the setting is underground Seattle, where our narrator discovers that MIA thieving nympho who blew his mind in Literary France, scrambled his brain with hash in Morocco, and sent him packing to the Abyss. Adventures ensue with Lily again, danger again, lots and lots of sex again. Madness, death, weirdos, fear! But this time our femme fatale is way more human, and so is our protagonist―who remembers what she did to him, so refuses to be whipped again.   Meanwhile, earthquake omens erupt from the crust, llamas abound, and addicts clash. Gangs, abortions, porn and angst! Till fighting the sultry suck of her spell, our hero retreats to the fabled Mountain Palace, where things have changed. Especially when Lily, down and out, shows up in the Rockies. Spitzer, however, makes a shocking decision, which leads to the Ultimate Revelation.

Without Leave chronicles the stories of two alienated young people during 1967-70-David, who goes AWOL from the Navy where he'd hoped to find training and focus for his life but finds only boredom and disillusionment during deployment on an aircraft carrier and an artist, Diane, who drops out of college after a brutal rape and the death of the black man she loved-who meet and fall in love in the Haight-Ashbury region of San Francisco in 1967 only to find they cannot escape their past: David cannot be free while a fugitive and Diane cannot be free in a segregated society at war with itself.

Land of Ashes and Diamonds: My Apprenticeship in Poland followed by 26 Letters from Jerzy Grotowski to Eugenio Barba : By Eugenio Barba Land of Ashes and Diamonds publishes for the first time a series of letters from Jerzy Grotowski to Eugenio Barba. Written during the early 'Theatre Productions' phase of Grotowski's work in the 1960's. The letters are contextualised in an extended autobiographical essay by Barba, which chronicles his early contact, and lifelong friendship, with Grotowski and his close collaborators, and charts their deep significance to his own life and work. Detailing the precise, concrete, sustained, and measured work upon which the Grotowski laboratorium was founded, Land of Ashes and Diamonds offers new insights into the work of two great masters of twentieth century theatre.
