The Plumber of Souls

No one talks about the dirty work. But when the human soul begins to rot and fester, when the spiritual pipes get clogged with guilt and horror thats when you call the Plumber of Souls. Michael Guinzburgs new novel, published to acclaim in France, occupies the same spiritual terrain as Rabelais and Henry Miller but with peculiar twists. Obsessed with cheeseburgers, haunted by a childhood of abuse, armed with a rapier wit, and driven by an appetite for pleasure, the Plumber of Souls travels the sewers of Paris, mad cowinfested Britain, Cuba, and New Mexico in his quest to right the worlds wrongs. The perverse and the picaresque mingle in this novel by a great tragicomic voice. -- The Philadelphia Inquirer A great book. The hardest, purest American prose since Faulkners Sanctuary. Terry Southern

Joanne Hull always knew there was something that made her different from other children. Whilst other girls her age were playing with dolls, Joanne was busy collecting any stray animal that came her way, until her parent's backyard resembled a zoo. As she grew older she realised that she was developing incredible powers that allowed her to psychically connect with, and talk to, animals. For the last ten years Joanne has used the animal spirit world to help owners across the country understand troubled pets, find missing ones and, most amazingly, contact those we've lost to the other side. Joanne has given hundreds of spine-chillingly accurate readings - and for the first time she shares the sometimes heart-warming, sometimes heart-breaking, but always extraordinary stories that have formed her life as The Pet Psychic.

In this lively and unique document of 1970s-style hedonism, we follow the futher adventures of Cleo Odzer, whose first book Patpong Sisters was a best seller. Goa Freaks begins in the mid 1970s and tells of Cleo's love affair with Goa, a resort in India where the Freaks (hippies) of the world converge to partake in a heady bohemian lifestyle. To finance their astounding appetites for cocaine, heroin, and hashish, the Freaks spend each monsoon season acting as drug couriers, and soon cleo is running her own "scams" in Canada, Australis, and the United States. (She even gets her Aunt Sadie in on the action.) Wish her earnings she builds a veritable palace on the beach- the only Goa house with running water and a flushing toilet. Cleo becomes the hostess of Anjuna Beach, holding days-long poker games and movie nights and, as her money begins to run out, transforming the house into a for-profit drug den. Tracing Cleo's love affairs, her stint hiding out at the ashram of the infamous Bhagwan Rajneesh, and her sometimes-harrowing drug experiences, Goa Freaks: My Hippie Years in India is candid and compelling, bringin to life the spirit of a now-lost era.

Biographies & Memoirs

The Mad Cub, first published in 1970, is a sexual coming-of-age tale, illustrating how a puzzled human cub turns into a transcendent lion-being of the universe. We see the novel's sensitive, artistic protagonist at age 12, feeling overweight and unable to compete with the other boys; at 18, as a college student involved with several women and hanging out in jazz clubs while experimenting with drugs and alcohol; and in his 20s, as a poet and playwright of the Beat era, tripping on peyote and trying to reconcile a series of affairs with the love for his wife and baby daughter. Written in the spontaneous bop style of some of author Michael McClure's fellow Beats, the novel has been called painfully honest in its recounting of adolescent memories.
