Stengrow's Dad by Elia Katz Pdf

Stengrow on his journey in search of his One True Dad, meets and falls in love with the beautiful Daphne, becomes a master of subliminal advertising, and almost loses his life. Reynold Stengrow just wants to be a good son. Not easy when you have 36 possible Dads, geniuses all, donors to Dr. I. Lord Genius Sperm Bank. So, until he finds his One True Dad, Stengrow must honor his Black Muslim father at the same time he's honoring his neo-nazi father, while immersing himself in the ancient traditions of his Jewish TV-producer Dad. Not to mention all the other citizens, millionaires, politicians, poets and failures who may possibly be Stengrow's Dad. In the course of his innocent, comic, ultimately tragic pilgrimage, Stengrow becomes an American Everyman, seeking his own identity, seeking a way of life he can believe in, as he makes his way through a nation that has become, here at the end of the millennium, a maze of conflicting truths, often - like Stengrow himself - at war with himself. Hallmark makes no card for Stengrow's situation. KatzOCOs writing has the Orwellian feel of being dead right. OCo Russell Baker, The New York Times Boson Books also offers Armed Love by Elia Katz.

The Notebooks of Michael Mabius by Elia Katz Pdf

Michael Mabius is a young writer who has experienced great success and great failure. He has hobbled a once-soaring literary career with the heavy burdens of too many drugs, too much sex, and the tragic wasting that comes with time-consuming, enervating social interactions among too many friends who are no friends at all. Now, to save himself, he needs two things - to write the great book he has known all his life he must write, and to live once again with the only woman he has ever loved - Susan. But Susan has recently married another man, though Michael refuses to accept this fact. And Michael's creative energies are being poured out in writing dialog for cartoon rodents to say in hopeless films, so he can earn the money to pay for the drugs that provide him with the only traces of warmth left in his world.

Warhol-isms by Andy Warhol Pdf

A unique collection of brilliant quotations from the legendary Pop artist One of the most influential artists of his time and ours, Andy Warhol is nearly as renowned for what he said as for what he did. Indeed, he is so quotable that things he never said are endlessly and plausibly attributed to him, including, fittingly, the most celebrated fake Warhol saying—“In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes.” Warhol-isms separates legend from fact to present a unique and comprehensive collection of authentic quotations from the Pop artist. Gathered from interviews and other primary sources, these deadpan, droll, ironic, and sincere gems—in which a superficial embrace of superficiality often disguises provocative, unconventional ideas—provide compelling insights into the life and work of an artist who has left an indelible mark on art and popular culture. Select quotations from the book: I think an artist is anybody who does something well.I went to [a psychiatrist] once, and he never called me back.They always say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.I’ve never met a person I couldn’t call a beauty.New things are always better than old things.I’m still a commercial artist. I was always a commercial artist.
