    <![CDATA[In the coastal hills of northern California live three larger-than-life characters: two humans and one duck.  There's Grandaddy Jake Santee, 99 years old, an unreformed gambler, cranky reprobate and fierce opponent of the work ethic. And Tiny, adopted at the age of four by Grandaddy Jake, he's a giant young man as gentle as Jake is belligerent.  And then there's Fup, an uncompromising twenty-pound hen mallard, whose unique presence imposes a sense of order on the Santee household.  Hilarious, heartwarming and magical, Fup is a contemporary fable that inspires an almost evangelical fervour in all who read it. It is a work of enormous originality with a giant heart.]]>

    <![CDATA[Charging like a runaway semitrailer on a downhill grade and spanning the era from Haight-Ashbury's Summer of Love into the darkness of 1980s Manhattan, Stone Junction is a wise and wildly imaginative novel about Daniel Pearse, an orphaned child who is taken under the wings of the AMO -- the Alliance of Magicians and Outlaws. An assortment of sages sharpen Daniel's wide-eyed outlook until he has the concentration of a card shark Zeta master, via apprenticeships in meditation, safecracking, poker, and the art of walking through walls. Wizards are made, not born, and this unconventional education sets Daniel on the trail of mysteries ancient and modern. A strange, six-pound diamond sphere held by the U.S. government in a New Mexico vault, rumored to be the Philosopher's Stone or the Holy Grail, becomes the AMO's obsession. In time, Daniel perfects his powers and heads off to steal the magic stone, and what happens changes his life forever. Stone Junction is a bravura act of storytelling, both a free-spirited adventure and a parable about the powers within all of us.]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;George Gastin is a Bay Area tow-truck operator who wrecks cars as part of an insurance scam. One of the cars he is hired to demolish is a snow-white Cadillac that was supposed to be a present for the Big Bopper, who died in the Iowa plane crash that killed Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens. Gastin has a change of heart and takes off in the car, heading for Texas where the Bopper is buried. Armed with a thousand hits of Benzedrine and chased by adversaries real and imagined, Gastin navigates a road trip that covers many miles and states of mind. Traveling in time from the Beat era to the dawn of the sixties, from the coffeehouses of North Beach to the open plains of America, Gastin picks up some extraordinary hitchhikers: the self-proclaimed &quot;world's greatest salesman,&quot; the Reverend Double-Gone Johnson, and a battered housewife with a box of old 45s. As the miles and sleepless hours roll by, Gastin's trip becomes a blur of fantasy and reality fueled by a soundtrack of classic rock 'n' roll.&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;While Jim Dodge is internationally known for his fiction, his first and abiding passion is poetry. After eighteen years of publishing anonymously and reading only to local crowds in the Pacific Northwest, he began to issue occasional limited-edition letterpress chapbooks with a small press, as well as occasional broadsides and, since 1987, a winter solstice poem or story, most given as gifts to friends. Rain on the River contains work collected here for the first time, as well as three dozen previously unpublished poems. Dodge's poems and short prose offer the same pleasures as his fiction -- a splendid ear for language, great emotional range and subtlety, a sharp eye for the illuminating detail, and a sensibility that encompasses outright hilarity, savage wit, and tender marvel, all made eminently accessible through writing of uncompromising clarity and grace. &quot;Like being at a nonstop party in celebration of everything that matters.&quot; -- Thomas Pynchon &quot;A rollicking, frequently surprising adventure-cum-fairy tale. It also has a sweetness about it and an indigenous American optimism.&quot; -- The New York Times Book Review &quot;Diverse, savvy, passionate.... Poetry should be a pleasure, and Jim Dodge's work is just that.&quot; -- Gary Snyder&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[From Library Journal: More desserts from the author of the well-received <em>The American Baker</em> (S. &amp; S., 1987). Dodge likes &quot;American&quot; desserts--there are four recipes for apple pie alone--but he has included some favorite European creations along with his cobblers, crisps, and shortcakes. The emphasis is on freshness and simplicity, so there are lots of fruit desserts and variations of homey classics like pound cake. This collection is less interesting than Dodge's more sophisticated first book, but rediscovered all-American desserts continue to be in fashion. For most collections.<br/><br/>Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc.]]>

    <![CDATA[Inside these hallowed pages you'll find some of the stupidest, most pointless tripe ever printed. Jim Dodge has presented his best short stories, essays and poems for the world to see. His pieces run the gamut from horror to comedy and all points in between. His sense of humor is dark and his serious side is darker still. If only one word was used to describe his style, it would be &#147;Huh?&#148; If you'd just read this book already, you'd see what we mean.]]>

    <![CDATA[Starting with his mother's 'roundhouse' right to a nun's jaw, Stone Junction is a modern odyssey of one man's quest for knowledge and understanding in a world where revenge, betrayal, revolution, mind-bending chemicals, magic and murder are the norm.  With a genuinely awesome scope, a stiletto-sharp wit and an array of utterly bizarre characters, Jim Dodge has woven a mesmerising and age-defining tale. Like a river constantly changing direction, Stone Junction is both stomach-clutchingly hilarious and heart-rendingly sad - and utterly compelling throughout. Prepare to step into a world where nothing is ever as it seems.]]>
