Published in Paris in 1946 as a hardboiled thriller loaded with sex and blood, allegedly censored in the US and 'translated' into French - I Spit On Your Graves was both a pure mystification, and direct home to, American literature and movies, from a young author. More deeply, it was a violent attack on racism by a jazz fan who had already befriended many black musicians and was to become the closest French friend of Ellington, Davis and Parker. Find out why this outstripped sales of Malraux, Camus, Sartre and De Beauvoir when it appeared in France...and continues to scandalize today.

A book length rant, and a confrontational stance against the French media with regards to the 1984 murder of Debord's friend, financial supporter, and film and literary impressario, Gerard Lebovici. First time in English, and its about time. "A fascinating document. This is a passionate Debord, sometimes self-aggrandizing, sometimes reflective, and always illuminating." [Sadie Plant]

DEBORD, Guy

The most poignant love story of our time. [Raymond Queneau] "A kind of jazzy, cheerful, sexy, sci-fi mid-20th century Huysmans. Check it out. There is just no place like France." [Richard Hell] "Foam Of The Daze is a novel like no other, a sexy, innocent, smart and sweet cartoon of a world which then begins, little by little, to bleed real blood until, in the end, the blood turns out to be our own. I read it nearly 30 years ago...and I loved it then; it's still one of my favorite books in t he whole world." [Jim Krusoe]
