FICTION

Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction, but sometimes fiction is more honest than truth...

The Day Philosophy Dies. By Casey Maddox. $20
Paperback book. 266 pages. ISBN 0-9753014-0-3.
Published by Derrick Jensen's Flashpoint Press, this is a novel written by one of Derrick's ex-students at Pelican Bay State Prison in California. And it's really fucking good. The story follows a movie star who gets kidnapped and put through a recovery program for addiction to Western civilization. Yes, you read that right. I guess the nearest comparison would be Chuck Palahniuk, but this is so much more important than anything that guy has written. Possibly the best, and certainly the most important, fiction I have read in a very, very long time.

"A trip to forbidden realms with everything at stake. The Day Philosophy Dies is a novel that goes to the heart of the ongoing disaster that is society today." - John Zerzan, author of Elements of Refusal, Future Primitive and Running on Emptiness: the Pathology of Civilization.

Ishmael. By Daniel Quinn. $15
Paperback book. 263 pages. ISBN 0-553-37540-7.
Daniel Quinn's classic "adventure of the mind and spirit". As a best-selling novel with a fanatical following, it's probably opened more people's eyes to the lies of Mother Culture than any other single book.

"From now on I will divide the books i have read into two catagories - the ones I read before Ishmael and those read after." - Jim Britell, Whole Earth Review

Letters of Insurgents. By Sophia Nachalo & Yarostan Vochek (Fredy Perlman). $25
Paperback book. 831 pages. ISBN 0934868131.
One-time lovers who share libertarian ideals find themselves on opposite sides of the Iron Curtain in the 1960s. They continue to seek a path to liberation. Their letters record the repression and satisfactions they experience under different manifestations of the modern State, and through these letters Fredy Perlman - the actual author of this work - develops a potent vision of contemporary anarchic praxis. A beautiful, tender, and inspiring collection. Highly recommended.

Plunder. By Fredy Perlman. $6
Paperback booklet. 84 pages. No ISBN.
This was Fredy Perlman's first published work (1962) - a powerful multi-layered play involving characters from Asia, Africa and North America. A tragic drama of global imperialism and racism.

Return. By Clayton J Elliott. $15
Paperback book. 167 pages. ISBN 0955469007.
Are there any limits in the fight to save a dying planet? Is it possible for us to reclaim our connection with nature or are we destined to destroy it? These are the questions that haunt Aaron as he recounts his past and that of the Earth. Through protests, riots, sabotage and bombings Aaron and his friends push the boundaries of environmental activism, determined to defeat the crushing leviathan of capitalism and civilisation itself. Return explores the desire to fight back against the vacuity of our technolological world and our need to re-connect with the earth.
