Maniac Eyeball is the third, final and most comprehensive volume of autobiography written by the late Salvador Dali. Maniac Eyeball contains the frank and uncensored confessions of Salvador Dali, from his childhood and first adolescent sexual experiences to his emergence as a painter, surrealist and eventually the most famous-and possibly richest-artist of modern times. These inspired tracts, covering art, love, sex, money, death, fame, science, his famous friends and enemies, and his extraordinary creative genius, reveal the intricate workings of Dali's mind to create not only an unparalleled autobiography, but also one of the key surrealist texts yet published.
Salvador Dali (1904â€“1989) entered the ranks of the Surrealists in 1929 with a series of iconoclastic paintings which fused technical virtuosity with Freudian infantilism, leading to his invention of the "paranoiac-critical" method. Later expelled from the surrealist group, he was christened "Avida Dollars" by Andre Breton while acquiring the reputation of master showman and scandalist. His art and writings remain among the most unique and important bodies of work of the 20th century.
"Dali's paintings reveal in the most powerful form the basic elements of the Surrealist imagination: a series of equations for dealing with the extraordinary transformations of our age. Let us salute this unique genius, who has counted for the first time the multiplication tables of obsession, psychopathology and possibility"-J.G. Ballard

The Screaming Body gives a full and authoritative account of Artaud's film projects and his conception of surrealist cinema. It examines his unique series of drawings of the fragmented human body, begun in the ward of a lunatic asylum and finished in a state of furious liberation. The book captures Artaud's ultimate experiment with the screaming body in the form of his censored recording To Have Done with the Judgement of God-an experiment which is unprecedented in the history of art.

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.

Divine Filth is a collection of long-overlooked erotic prose and scatological fragments rivaled only by Georges Bataille's most well-known work, Story of the Eye, for pure "pornographic" content that transcends the limits of literature and the self. These are the shattered mystic visions of a seminal Surrealist with a deep thirst for the negation of consciousness through ecstasy, humiliation, depravity and pain.

Bill Drummond and Mark Manning's second trip was to Zaire, a jungle hell on the verge of bloody civil war, where they traveled down-river in search of the ghost of Conrad's Kurtz. By turns hilarious and horrifying, Wild Highway will cement the reputation of Drummond and Manning not only as cutting-edge writers, but as two of the most dangerous and subversive "pranksters" of the fledgeling 21st century.

Jean Genet: poet-thief, novelist, revolutionary, gay icon. Genet's early life was one of vagrancy and crime. He emerged in 1942 from prison with the extraordinarily subversive novel Our Lady of the Flowers. Championed by Cocteau and Sartre, Genet became a legend to the underworld for his subsequent novels, dark fusions of crime, sex and flowers. In later life he became involved with rebel groups such as the Black Panthers and the PLO. Born To Lose, poet-novelist Jeremy Reed's stripped-down, amply illustrated biography of Genet, displays profound empathy for its subject. Reed explores Genet's novels, criminal activities, addiction to sleeping pills, relationships with lovers and rent boys, mercurial friendships, fugitive poetry and the obsession with death that underscores his work.
