Anthology of Black Humor
This is the first publication in English of the anthology that contains Breton’s definitive statement on l’humour noir, one of the seminal concepts of Surrealism, and his provocative assessments of the writers he most admired. While some of the authors featured in The Anthology of Black Humor are already well known to American readers—Swift, Kafka, Rimbaud, Poe, Lewis Carroll, and Baudelaire among them (and even then, Breton’s selections are often surprising)—many others are sure to come as a revelation. The entries range from the acerbic aphorisms of Swift, Lichtenberg, and Duchamp to the theatrical slapstick of Christian Dietrich Grabbe, from the wry missives of Rimbaud and Jacques Vache to the manic paranoia of Dali, from the ferocious iconoclasm of Alfred Jarry and Arthur Craven to the offhand hilarity of Apollinaire at his most spontaneous. For each of the forty-five authors included, Breton has provided an enlightening biographical and critical preface, situating both the writer and the work in the context of black humor—a partly macabre, partly ironic, and often absurd turn of spirit that Breton defined as «a superior revolt of the mind.» "Anthologies can aim to be groundbreaking or thought-provoking; few can be said to have introduced a new phrase—or a new concept—into the language. No one had ever used the term «black humour» before this one came along, unless, perhaps, it was from a racial angle."—The Guardian Andre Breton (1896-1966), the founder and principal theorist of the Surrealist movement, is one of the major literary figures of the past century. His best-known works in English translation include Nadja, Mad Love, The Manifestoes of Surrealism, The Magnetic Fields (with Philippe Soupault), and Earthlight. Mark Polizzotti is the author of Revolution of the Mind: The Life of Andre Breton.

Woman with Guitar
The only full-length biography in existence of a legendary American blues master, acknowledged as a major influence by musicians as diverse as Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry, Johnny Shines and Big Mama Thornton.At a time when organized feminism was at its lowest ebb, Memphis Minnie, a black working-class woman called no man master, defied gender stereotypes, and exemplified a radically adventurous lifestyle that makes most careers of the '20s and '30s seem dull by comparison.Drawing on folklore, psychoanalysis, critical theory, women's studies and surrealism, the authors' inspired explorations of Minnie's lyrics illuminate the poetics of popular culture of the time as well as the largely hidden history of working-class women's self-emancipation.Out of print for many years, this edition is an expanded version, including a previously unknown photo of Minnie and pages and pages of new biographical material: from information gleaned from census figures from her childhood days to a full listing of her nightclub appearances; an updated discography; and more.
Mushrooms, Myth and Mithras
Since the publication of Daniel Pinchbeck's «Breaking Open the Head» there has been a resurgence of interest in psychedelics in general and mushrooms in particular. Professor Carl Ruck has been researching and writing about mushrooms and culture for decades, and is one of the preeminent scholars on classic mythology and mushrooms. The many people who follow news and developments in the psychedelic community will embrace “Mushrooms, Myth, and Mithras” as a classic and will be fascinated by it's evidence that mushroom use was not only a practice of the elite of ancient Rome, but that the symbols emerging from the experience and rituals have had a profound impact on the emergence of European culture. Mark Hoffman, one of the younger co-authors of the book, is publisher of “Entheos, The Journal of Psychedelic Spirituality,” and is very plugged in to the community who will be interested in this book. Carl Ruck is best known for his seminal work with Gordon Wasson & Albert Hofmann on mushrooms and other plants used during shamanistic rituals for healing and spiritual experience. (These drugs are known as entheogens).
