Notes From the Underground
William
Bryant /
Ross / fiction
A
"created history", wrapped in the enigma of T.E. Lawrence. Billy,
an American urchin like Huckleberry Finn, comes under the tutelage
of a retired British army officer in 1920's New York. Billy possesses
youth, unformed intellect, and raw sexuality; Ross, a.k.a. T.E.
Lawrence, is history's seasoned timber, brilliant and tortured.
Mia Yun
/ House of the Winds / fiction
Another
episode from a novel about a young Korean girl and her family living
in Korea in the 1960's that Kirkus Reviews called "A lovely,
lyrical coming of age tale, graced by judiciously blended notes
of humor and melancholy. A superlative debut."
David
Sutherland / To Breathe
Together / poem
Rachel King
/ Alba / fiction
An
erotic section from the novel British critics have called "Bizarrely
beautiful and frightening intense. The portrayal of sexuality is
particularly strange and disturbing."
Maurice Girodias
/ Lolita, Nabokov and I / article
Here,
the Olympia Press publisher recounts his tumultuous relationship
with Vladimir Nabokov, the author of Lolita which Olympia
published in 1958.
Ghislaine Dunant
/ Brazen / fiction
This
short and erotic piece is a wonderful description of sexuality,
seen through the eyes of a man, written by a woman.
Jason Meagher
/ The Child On-Line
Protection Act? / article
In
the wake of the Supreme Court's 1997 overturning of the Communications
Decency Act, Congress has implemented a new bill which will once
again test the waters of censorship on the Internet. Evergreen takes
a look at how it might affect you.
John Fergus Ryan
/ Watching / fiction
Two
chapters from Ryan's novel about Billy "The Gimp", a single-room-occupant
who lives in the neighborhood of 42nd Street and frequents the peep
shows in Times Square.
Michael O'Donoghue and Eric Bach
/
Fish Waif / pictorial
The
story of a man, a girl and a fish! Hilariously recounted by O'Donoghue
and explicitly illustrated with photographs by Bach. A classic pictorial
from Evergreen #53, April 1968.
Frances Moore Lappé, Joseph Collins
& Peter Rosset / The
Myth - Scarcity / article
In
the 1986 classic, World Hunger: Twelve Myths, these three
experts demonstrated that there was still ample food being produced
for everyone in the world. Now, in an article adapted from the revised
and updated second edition, they prove once again that the myth
that there is not enough food in the world is false.
Kenzaburo Oe
/ J / fiction
The
opening passage from the Noble Prize winner's story of a spoiled,
young drifter whose erotic excitement comes from being a chikan,
one who rubs himself against young women in crowded subway trains,
sometimes with catastrophic results.
Christopher G. Moore
/ Monkey Talk / fiction
A
new story from Moore, of whose works it has been said that they
"...not only describes the Realm (Thailand), but interpret it. Residents
appreciate the insights, though Thais may well grumble that he knows
them too well."
Akbar
del Piombo / Fuzz Against
Junk /
collage story
It's
the cops against the beats in this tale of sex, drugs and poetry.
