People Farm
People Farm tells the true story of a brilliant man whose tragic flaws destroy him, and the young man who wants nothing more than to be like his mentor. Is Rancho Vista the cradle of unconditional love or a wilderness sex cult? Dr. Cyrus Aaron calls the Ranch his “human relations laboratory.” Is he a courageous advocate for youth or a psychopathic predator? Dr. Aaron’s young protégés believe he is their savior, but are horrified by what they do with the power he gives them. Aaron’s star pupil Steve yearns to be like his brilliant mentor. But growing up means becoming himself instead.
Return to the Caffe Cino
RETURN TO THE CAFFE CINO gives a fresh, exciting portrait of the non-commercial NY theater scene in the 1960's. The scene is painted here by dozens of short essays by the artists that were a part of the creative fission that flared so brightly there and that still influences so much of today's theatre. The eyewitness stories are usually hysterically funny, filled with that sense of freedom that ignited a movement that continues today in small independent theaters. And the editors of the anthology have filled the pages with vintage pictures, including one of a fifteen-year-old Bernadette Peters getting her start at the Caffe Cino!
Jarry and Me
Is this Alfred Jarry finally writing Oakley Hall III's autobiography or the other way around? It reads--magnificently--as both at the same time, thus as another instance of that hidden wisdom: we are never only one, but always the occasion of many. Maybe it is Ubu himself fondling the hen, I mean holding the pen? Was there ever pathos in Pataphysics? If not, here it is: one bridge further, Oakley Hall III is at it again, biosplicing his & Jarry s life in the theater and Jarry and his theater in life. You are hereby introduced into the Hall of Post-Pataphysics. -- Prof. Pierre Joris, author of Poasis and A Nomad Poetics

Salome's Modernity
Oscar Wilde's 1891 symbolist tragedy Salom has had a rich afterlife in literature, opera, dance, film, and popular culture. Salome's Modernity: Oscar Wilde and the Aesthetics of Transgression is the first comprehensive scholarly exploration of that extraordinary resonance that persists to the present. Petra Dierkes-Thrun positions Wilde as a founding figure of modernism and Salom as a key text in modern culture's preoccupation with erotic and aesthetic transgression, arguing that Wilde's Salom marks a major turning point from a dominant traditional cultural, moral, and religious outlook to a utopian aesthetic of erotic and artistic transgression. Wilde and Salom are seen to represent a bridge linking the philosophical and artistic projects of writers such as Mallarm , Pater, and Nietzsche to modernist and postmodernist literature and philosophy and our contemporary culture. Dierkes-Thrun addresses subsequent representations of Salome in a wide range of artistic productions of both high and popular culture through the works of Richard Strauss, Maud Allan, Alla Nazimova, Ken Russell, Suri Krishnamma, Robert Altman, Tom Robbins, and Nick Cave, among others.
A Little Patch Of Shepherd's-Thyme
Jonathan Bracker's enthusiasm for Thomas Hardy's lyrical prose has moved him to arrange many of his favorite passages in verse form, and to share those passages with other Hardy enthusiasts and readers newly discovering Hardy's work. Each of Hardy's 16 novels is represented here, in excerpts that capture his wry understanding of the British social class system, his appreciation of the tragic nature of romance, and his love of nature.
Abolitionista!
Abolitionista! is an innovative educational tool that responsibly educates young people about human trafficking and empowers them to protect themselves.

La MaMa Experimental Theatre – A Lasting Bridge Between Cultures
This book focuses on the role of La MaMa Experimental Theatre within Avant-garde theater during the 1960s and 1970s. This study investigates the involvement of the Off-Off Broadway circuit in the Avant-garde experimentations both in the United States (New York specifically) and in Europe. This exploration shows the two-way influence – between Europe and the United States – testified by documents gathered in years of archival research. In this relevant artistic exchange, La MaMa (and Ellen Stewart as its founder and artistic director) emerges as a key element. La MaMa’s companies brought to Europe the American culture and the New York underground culture, while their members learnt Euro...
