Skin of the Sun
Award-winning author Debra Di Blasi gathers her most radical, challenging, and evocative writing into one delicious book. Not for the faint of heart, these stories stretch from the Phil Spector murder trial to murders in an African township, from a hedge fund manager's sexually explicit death throes to a suicidal teen's Facebook page, from the fragility of a marriage to the hidden violence of suburbia, and beyond. A sumptuous, compelling and intelligent collision of text and image. Praise for Debra Di Blasi's Writing New York Times Book Review: "In clear, resonant prose, laced with bittersweet humor, Di Blasi imparts her understanding of love's multiple ironies." Publishers Weekly: "Both Di Blasi's style and her objective distance and comprehension of her chosen subject mark her as a very psychologically driven, very talented writer." Kansas City Star: "Debra Di Blasi writes in a gray zone where literature, art and conceptual performance meet. Her prose reads like poetry or comes with scrapbook visuals. Her social comment channels Duchamp and his surreal cousins."

Blank
Full color edition. Black and white edition also available. "Schneiderman's novel [exists] in historical and interdisciplinary context, to show that his book enters into an ongoing conversation.... Perhaps the novel is not the most important aspect of the work; maybe the conversations, questions, reactions engendered by the object of the novel are more important." -Christopher Higgs, HTMLGiant Davis Schneiderman's 200-page novel, Blank, contains only 20 compelling chapter titles and pyrographic (burned paper) drawings by artist Susan White, with color photographs of sky by writer/publisher Debra Di Blasi. The story's meaning is, as it has always been, up to the reader. When you buy this book...

What the Body Requires
"What the Body Requires is to the mind what chocolate is to the tongue - rich and decadent." -Carolyn Szczepanski, The Pitch "Some moments involve hi stakes situations and a bit of mystery, though I'd never call What the Body Requires a genre novel. This book is highly sexual, but never cliched. Di Blasi just kills it." -The Next Best Book Blog "Highly ambitious and of the deepest seriousness... with an evocative prose and an exotic, vividly imagined landscape. The consistency with which the writing invests everyday actions and objects with an almost erotic fervor is truly extraordinary." -R.M. Berry, author of Leonardo's Horse, Dictionary of Modern Anguish, and Frank DESCRIPTION: Madeline Rivera goes to Europe to kill her husband, a musician, but falls in love with his doppleganger, an Italian policeman. Structured as a symphony, What the Body Requires explores a woman's sexuality and passion for art as she slides into the madness of revenge. Structured around an elaborate symphony, What the Body Requires is ripe with music references, musicians and the intentionally overt drama of opera.
The Complete Works of Marvin K. Mooney
Abstract: This is the greatest experimental literary achievement in the history of humankind. It is a feat beyond measure and comparable to none. Genius is riddled with humor and drama and mystery and humanity and all other really important stuff. Future scholars will surely spend entire careers mining the depths of this breathtaking literary triumph. In a world where one man and his pen can make a difference, this novel proves everything and nothing simultaneously.
