Joe DAmato's infamous follow-up to ANTHROPOPHAGOUS like never before!

Award-winning singer and actress Stella Parton shares a collection of recipes that were handed down from her mother, created out of her imagination, altered from others, or just plain stolen from family and friends. The ingredients are simple, healthy, natural, zesty, and the results as deliciously down-home as a soulful country ballad.

Patently Absurd Hardcover - 2004 by Christopher Cooper (Author)

Introduces audiences to developments in the contemporary theatre which reflect changing attitudes toward the world

The decade of 1988-1998 was the Golden Age of VHS, a time when anybody with a pulse, a camcorder, and a few bucks could market a video. Comedy writers Joe Pickett and Nick Prueher have spent the last 20 years collecting the best odd and unintentionally hilarious videotapes ever produced. Since 2004, they've resurrected them for sold-out audiences across the country as part of their touring show, the Found Footage Festival. Now, for the very first time, they've collected the greatest VHS covers into one handsome compendium—along with their priceless snarky commentary throughout.

A writer who defies categorization, Daniil Kharms has come to be regarded as an essential artist of the modernist avant-garde. His writing, which partakes of performance, narrative, poetry, and visual elements, was largely suppressed during his lifetime, which ended in a psychiatric ward where he starved to death during the siege of Leningrad. His work, which survived mostly in notebooks, can now be seen as one of the pillars of absurdist literature, most explicitly manifested in the 1920s and ’30s Soviet Union by the OBERIU group, which inherited the mantle of Russian futurism from such poets as Vladimir Mayakovsky and Velimir Khlebnikov. This selection of prose and poetry provides the most comprehensive portrait of the writer in English translation to date, revealing the arc of his career and including a particularly generous selection of his later work.

Have you ever wondered why the Guggenheim is always covered in scaffolding? Why the slashes on the exterior of Libeskind's Jewish Museum, supposed to represent Jewish life in prewar Berlin, reappear, for no reason, on his Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto? Or why Gehry's design for an MIT lab for sensitive research has glass walls? Not to mention why, for $44.2 per square foot, it doesn't keep out the rain? You're not alone.In Architecture of the Absurd, John Silber dares to peek behind the curtain of "genius" architects and expose their willful disdain for their clients, their budgets, and the people who live or work inside their creations.In his twenty-five years as President of Boston University, Dr. Silber oversaw a building program totaling more than 13 million square feet. Here he constructs an unflinching case, beautifully illustrated, against the worst trends in contemporary architecture. He challenges architects to derive creative satisfaction from meeting the practical needs of clients and the public. He urges the directors of our universities, symphony orchestras, museums, and corporations to stop financing inefficient, overpriced architecture, and calls on clients and the public to tell the emperors of our skylines that their pretensions cannot hide the naked absurdity of their designs.

This book is the first monograph on George Fullard (1923-73), one of the most inventive post-war British sculptors, and the first complete survey of Fullard's sculpture examining the themes, techniques and critical context of his work. The author, Gillian Whiteley, explores the critical reception and cultural context of this diverse body of work, which ranges from the modelled figures made in the Cold War period and the idiosyncratic and unusual war assemblages of the 1960s through to the late enigmatic sculptures concerned with the sea.

Circus of the Absurd is a funny, earthy, entertaining slice of life in a war that never seems far from the public consciousness. This sometimes outrageous and often funny view of the Vietnam War is seen through the eyes of a low level enlisted soldier assigned to USARV headquarters in 1967-68. It's definitely NOT a typical "tip of the spear" combat focused book. The Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Army are minor players in this adrenaline fueled trip through insane incidents and free-wheeling sex, interspersed with brutality, rape, killing, corruption, and other travesties of war. The author lures you into a tantalizing netherworld of hedonistic pleasures and exciting adventures that could be mistaken for a young man's concept of heaven, then periodically punches you in the gut with disturbing and sometimes horrific incidents to remind you that you really are in hell. It's a road rarely traveled in most books on Vietnam but Circus of the Absurd is fascinating, darkly humorous, and packed with little details that may help fill in some of the blanks many people have about the conduct of that controversial war.
