Verse and Adverse
"Verse and Adverse" is a collection of poems. They range in character from love poetry to insult and are written in traditional forms as well as experimental. They confront personal and social issues, are addressed to friends and enemies, and are often as emotionally puzzling as they are pointedly clear.
Necessity and Other Tales
Necessity and Other TalesOdd people inextricably caught in odd situations, this collection of tales places the weight of individual choice and character on the airy fate and circumstance. They are populated by the gullible, madmen, lonely women, fools, and heroic losers.

Handbook of Phenomenological Aesthetics
Historically, phenomenology began in Edmund Husserl’s theory of mathematics and logic, went on to focus for him on transcendental rst philosophy and for others on metaphysics, philosophical anthropology, and theory of interpretation. The c- tinuing focus has thus been on knowledge and being. But if one began without those interests and with an understanding of the phenomenological style of approach, one might well see that art and aesthetics make up the most natural eld to be approached phenomenologically. Contributions to this eld have continually been made in the phenomenological tradition from very early on, but, so to speak, along the side. (The situation has been similar with phenomen...
Sand
Sand, published as Sandstorm in The Riyadh Daily in 1987-8 as a serialized novel, is an eclectic work combining surreal events and naturalistic description. It is here published uncensored in its original form. It is a snapshot album of Saudi Arabia in the late 1980s.I had approached the editor of The Riyadh Daily with the idea of a novel appearing in daily installments of 500 words as a way of increasing circulation. At the time The Arab News and The Saudi Gazette were number one and two in circulation among English-language dailies in Saudi Arabia. The Riyadh Daily was a distant third. But the novel you hold in your hands is the original, uncensored novel, not the one that first appeared i...
Antique
"Antique" has been called a paranormal romance, but there is more in this frightening novel than meets the eye. "Antique" is the story of Quinn Channing, a university professor who suffers from outbursts of anger until a colonial, standing mirror in an antique shop on a back road in New Hampshire beckons. What happens, if anything, is a matter of the reader's conjecture. Are events natural, unnatural, or supernatural? Once again, Majkut writes about the reader who holds his novel in hand. About the Author“'Uprising in Chiapas' was a great story.” — Judges comment: San Francisco Peninsula Press Club, Best Series Award, 1994, San Diego Press Club"I'd say that one writes what one writes, and either it works or it doesn't." — Paul Bowles"Ce que tu me dis sur la perception m'intéresse beaucoup, c'est très spinoziste d'inspiration." — Louis Althusser“Majkut's mind operates on several levels, from high philosophy to reporting the scene around him. . . more hilarious, he is obviously a fiction writer of high order.” — Maxwell Geismar

At the same time, the narrator and his wife are vacationing on a Greek island when hotel guests begin to disappear. A discredited police inspector arrives to unravel the mystery, but his reliance on phrenology may be a greater hindrance than help. The opening riddle is resolved in the ending.
Smallest Mimes. Defaced Representation and Media Epistemology
This book proposes an alternate theory of media evolution that accounts for the appearance of a new medium in the malpractice of older media. Smallest Mimes addresses complex issues of media transition, the inherent confusion of media definition by use of metaphor instead of phenomenological description, and the impact of individual media function and structure on both textual and imagistic content. Bringing together Majkut’s past speculations on media, Smallest Mimes interweaves a general theory of media, a theory of historical media change and transmission, and a theory of media genesis in technological adequacy/inadequacy.
