Who Killed Hunter Thompson? An Inquiry Into the Life & Death of the Master of Gonzo

Edited by Warren Hinckle

“I think Thompson has remained a writer of significance because essentially a satirist, he has displayed utter contempt for power; political power, financial power, even show biz juice.” – Paul Theroux

A look at the life of Hunter S. Thompson through essays and personal recollections from the Gonzo journalist’s peers, closest friends and co-conspirators—including transcripts of his rants and idiosyncratic phone messages. Thompson’s compatriots, who observe and comment on the journalistic legend’s life and death, include, among many others:

Susie Bright, the editor of On Our Backs and Best American Erotica

Jerry Brown, the former Governor of California and THE UNDERGROUND EULOGIES current Mayor of Oakland

Rick MacArthur, the publisher of Harper’s

Ben Fong-Torres, the iconic Rolling Stone editor

Eugene “Dr. Hip” Schoenfeld, the pot guru

SCB DISTRIBUTORS | 1 Conversations with Durito Stories of the Zapatistas and Neoliberalism

By Subcomandante Marcos

In 1994, from the Lacandon jungle of Mexico, Zapatista leader Subcomandante Marcos took the time to reply to a ten-year- old Mexico City girl who had sent him a drawing. In response, Marcos conjured a fable introducing a beetle and knight- errant, Don Durito de la Lacandon. Marcos’ ensuing output of Durito-related communiqués and tales evolved into an overview of the Zapatistas’ history, politics, and opposition to capitalist globalization.

Here are all the Durito stories issued to date, translated, annotated, and organized by the Áccion Zapatista Editorial Collective, and illustrated by simpático artists. Poetic, humorous, and imaginative, these fables are an excellent introduction to the politics of globalization from the radical perspective of SUBCOMANDANTE MARCOS’ indigenous struggle. SHORT STORIES Subcomandante Marcos is the charismatic leader of the Zapatista revolutionary movement in Chiapas, Mexico.

SCB DISTRIBUTORS | 3 Abominable Snowmen Legend Come to Life

By Ivan T. Sanderson

Do Abominable Snowmen exist? Prepare yourself for a shock. In the opinion of one of the world’s leading naturalists, Yeti still walk the earth! Do wild, strange hairy men really live on the fringes of the towering Himalayas and the edge of myth-haunted Tibet? They do, but we are far more likely to catch one in the impenetrable Klamath Forests of Northern California—and one was fleetingly caught during the last century, in Canada.

In this reprint of the 1962 classic, Ivan Sanderson tells the story of sub-humans living on five continents from the early Ice Age until today, explaining in clear language:

why the Abominable Snowman is no myth

the four types of Yeti

why no Snowman has ever been captured for a zoo or a EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED museum TO KNOW ABOUT YETI Ivan T. Sanderson (1911-1973), was a world- famous zoologist and writer who researched yeti for 30+ years. He also published exhaustively in scientific journals under the auspices of the British Museum, the Chicago Museum of Natural History and other Abominable Snowmen institutions. He held degrees with honors Legend Come to Life from Cambridge University, in botany, zoology, and geology, and also studied anatomy and physical anthropology. ISBN: 1-931882-58-4 $20.00 | paper

Following the Third World War, humankind left the toxic surface of the Earth and built an underground city to survive. A serious social problem emerged in CATFIGHTS, ALIEN SAFARIS, this new society: hyperorexia, or severe AND EVIL EXPERIMENTS overeating, a side effect of the Pure Trance life-sustaining pill.

Luis Sanchis began photographing these nudes and erotic scenes as a personal project, a visual manifestation of the whispered desires, unrealized fantasies and slivers of memory elicited on the psychiatrist’s couch—flashes of information caught on a flickering television screen in a darkened room—a snippet of overheard conversation—details from a fantasy life. Sensual and erotically evocative, the images employ a distinct 70s aesthetic, enhanced by a Polaroid color palette.

Luis Sanchis was born and raised in Spain, studying cinematography and fine arts before moving to NYC. His images have been published in British Vogue, The Face, Homme Plus, and Visionaire among others. He has produced numerous album covers (Madonna, Daft Punk) and worked on major advertising EROTIC PSYCHOLOGICAL FANTASIES campaigns with Gucci, Armani, Nike, and Covergirl.

The complete story of Richard Hell, Tom Verlaine and Televison, from the very beginning, with: iconic photographs a comprehensive chronology a complete discography

Television’s leaders, Richard Hell and Tom Verlaine, were brought together as teenagers by a love of literature and rock and roll – and contempt for almost everything else. At the end of March 1974, when Television played for the first time at CBGB’s, punk rock was born. Soon they were followed by Patti Smith, the Ramones and Blondie, and Malcom McLaren used them as the blueprint for the Sex Pistols. Hell left in early 1975, and Verlaine developed Marquee Moon. After several split-ups, Television still creates new music today. FIRST BOOK ON TELEVISION, THE BAND THAT INVENTED PUNK ROCK Tim Mitchell is a music journalist and the author of There’s Something About Jonathan: Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers and Sedition and Alchemy: A Biography of John Cale.

In this wide-ranging, assured debut fiction collection, stories skitter sideways across literary and genre fiction categories, using the toolbox of genres like science fiction and fantasy to grapple with issues of identity, family, gender, and politics. DeNiro is frequently funny, surreal, or slapstick, but his stories also connect with readers emotionally in unexpected and surprising ways. Even in the oddest of DeNiro’s stories, his characters are real people grappling with real FUNNY DEBUT FROM relationships, real heartbreaks and the small, cruel, pinprick absurdities of a universe A MIDWESTERN VOICE which is larger and stranger than most other writers ever realize.

Alan DeNiro’s fiction has appeared in Fence, One Story, Minnesota Monthly, 3rd Bed, Polyphony, and has been shortlisted for the O. Henry Award. He has taught at the U. of Richmond and the Loft (Minn.); founded a poetry Skinny Dipping in the website, Taverner’s Koans; published two poetry Lake of the Dead Stories chapbooks; and co-founded an anthology series. He has a BA in English (College of ISBN: 1-931520-17-8 Wooster) and an MFA in poetry (U of $16.00 | paper Virginia). He lives near St. Paul, MN.

By Alexander Pushkin Translated by Tom Beck

“Comparing the Penguin with the Dedalus leaves one in no doubt that Dedalus’ is superior. It reads fluently, and when you check it off against Nabokov you find that he has kept to the sense, style and technique of the original.” – The Guardian Book of the Week

Eugene Onegin (1823-31), is an eight-chapter novel in sonnets of Pushkin’s own devising, in iambic tetrameter, which he uses to modulate, Mozart-like, between deep profundity and twinkling humour, from exquisite lyrical descriptions of nature to devastating satire, all within a blink of the proverbial eye. The story and plot are simple, not unlike those of Pride and Prejudice, but with an open ending.

Tom Beck’s new translation captures the variety, sparkle and vivacity of this unique novel in verse. Poetic quality, rather than slavish fidelity to the original, has been the A NEW, ACCLAIMED TRANSLATION guiding principle in this acclaimed translation.

Alexander Pushkin (1799-1837) remains Russia’s greatest poet.

Tom Beck trained as a musician and has Eugene Onegin specialized in translating books about music and poetry into English from German. Inspired by a new German translation of Eugene Onegin, he learned Russian so that ISBN: 1-903517-28-1 he could translate Eugene Onegin into $11.99 | paper English. The result is a masterpiece.

“A masterpiece, with such a wealth of psychological relationships, symbolism, harrowing experience, comedy and misery, bold moral statements and artfully evoked mystery that one has this feeling: this comes from a fullness; here is a talent that musters its forces for deeds that will make a stir...extraordinary artistic courage and inspiration, a vision that has left its mark on me forever.” – Thomas Mann

Known as the Moravian Dostoevsky for his analysis of the human psyche, Ungar was a writer of unique talent whose life ended prematurely.

By Jerzy Ficowski Translated by Soren Gauger and Marcin Piekoszewski

“All writing about the Holocaust must be unadorned and clear.” – Primo Levi

In these short stories and sketches, Ficowski mythologizes reality, using fiction to turn the quotidian into the stuff of dreams and eternity, and reinterprets it by asking this:

The Holocaust is a lurking, vaguely sinister presence behind the dreamlike tales Ficowski spins. It weaves together memory, religious ritual, daily life, and the magical, yet with an impending disintegration, as the narrator struggles to link an annihilated past with the present.

Jerzy Ficowski was born in 1924 in Warsaw and CONTEMPORARY POLISH FICTION is a distinguished poet, prose writer, scholar and translator of Yiddish, Russian and Roma.

A straight, young, white hustler makes 35 cents when he turns his first trick at 13. As he hustles his way through the South Florida gay community and juvenile detention system in the late 1980s, his life on the edge begs the questions: Will he find home? Will he find love? All it costs is 35 cents.

“I’m not asking you to feel sorry for me because of my sordid past, but, rather, asking you to rethink sordid pasts altogether. I thought about calling this Raised by Queens, but I will stick to 35 Cents. Things that other people might consider abusive or scary have turned out to be the very things that saved my life. It’s about how gay men helped to raise and nurture an otherwise unloved and ignored straight kid. And although my childhood was not always rosy I wouldn’t trade it for any other.

By Jeff Parker

The Drinking Game, published in the form of a set of instructions for an impossible-to-win game available online (www.thedrinkinggame.net) and as the author’s traveling interactive performance piece, galvanizes the reader with the promise of illumination: here you will finally learn how to win. But the instructions themselves morph into stories and meld with the other short stories in the collection and everywhere one turns, the book plays its own game.

The stories themselves are about games in form and content, elevating the concept from the silliness of Beer Pong to game as war in the tradition of Robert Coover’s A Night At The Movies.

The Drinking Game begins as a conceptual piece based in low culture, then takes the reader through haunting stories about 9/11, female Chechen suicide bombers, and the game of life in a world which is, like the game itself, a landscape of foreignness. ABSURDIST GAMES GONE WRONG

By Robin Stewart Illustrated by Anna Crichton

Meet Harriet, the giant Galápagos tortoise – who turns 175 years old this year! When Harriet was discovered by Charles Darwin in 1835 in the Galápagos Islands, she was the size of a dinner plate. Now she is as large as a table! Darwin was so fascinated that he packed her into a box and took her with him to England. Studying Harriet’s appearance and eating habits, Darwin began to formulate his daring theory of evolution. But he found that he couldn’t keep her in frosty London forever. She needed sunshine! So, Harriet travelled far before finally finding a permanent home at Australia Zoo on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast.

Robin Stewart is a teacher and writer. Her REMARKABLE TRUE STORY OF previous titles for children include Moonbird, the Bush Babies Solo Series, Alternative Pets and Charles HARRIET THE GIANT TORTOISE, THE Darwin. WORLD’S OLDEST LIVING CREATURE

SCB DISTRIBUTORS | 81 Holy Madness Spirituality, Crazy-Wise Teachers, and Enlightenment Revised and Expanded Edition

By Georg Feuerstein, PhD

“A totally absorbing and fascinating piece of work by an author of considerable intellectual caliber.” – Colin Wilson, author of The Outsider

By André Douzet

The enigmatic relationship between the Cathars and the Templars is explained.

In the 13th century, the Catholic Church repressed the Cathars, who had settled in the French Pyrenees. The Cathars’ practices had some similarities with ancient Egyptian belief systems, including Dying Consciously, which was also at the heart of ancient Egyptian belief systems. Later, the Nazi Otto Rahn became interested in Catharism and sent investigators to France. They uncovered the ancient cave sanctuaries of the Cathars, and found statues of Egyptian gods! Was the Grail perhaps a sacred Egyptian artifact? TEMPLARS, CATHARS, EGYPTIAN GODS AND THE HOLY GRAIL Here, for the first time, all the key elements of a timeless puzzle are pieced together.

An illustrated overview of perpetual-motion machines and their inventors.

The deceptively simple task of making a mechanism which would turn forever has fascinated many famous men and physicists throughout the centuries. In fact, the basic tenets of engineering grew from the failures of these perpetual motion machine designers. And, despite the naivete and even the blatant trickery of many inventors, there still exists a handful of mechanisms which defy explanation:

a vast canvas-covered wheel which turned by itself was erected in the Tower of London

for a while, another wheel seemed to turn endlessly in Germany and was discussed by philosophers and scientists, including Sir Isaac Newton

Arthur W.J.G. Ord-Hume is a qualified UNUSUAL AND AMUSING mechanical engineer who, after leaving the INVENTIONS Royal Air Force, designed civil and military jets. A post-war pioneer of private flying, he later designed and produced small planes. He has written widely on aircraft instruction and received many international awards.

Edited by Geoff Cox and Joasia Krysa

A collection of essays and examples of contemporary cultural practices, the second in the DATA browser series.

Social change does not result from simple resistance to the existing set of conditions, but from adapting and transforming the technical apparatus itself. Walter Benjamin in his essay, The Author as Producer (1934), recommends that cultural producers intervene in the production process in order to transform the apparatus—to act, in effect, as engineers. But can this method be applied today, when production, consumption and circulation operate through complex global networks served by information technologies? Can the optimism of involvement be maintained when technology operates in the service of capital in ever more insidious ways?
