GODLIKE
by Richard Hell
150 pages, trade paperback original, $13.95
Godlike, Hell’s second novel, is a stunning achievement, and quite likely his most important work in any medium to date. Combining the grit, wit, and invention of Go Now with the charged lyricism and emotional implosiveness of his groundbreaking music, Godlike is brilliant in form as well as dazzling in its heart-wrenching tale of one whose values in life are the values of poetry. Set largely in the early ’70s, but structured as a middle-aged poet’s 1997 notebooks and drafts for a memoir-novel, the book recounts the story of a young man’s affair with a remarkable teenage poet. Godlike is a novel of compelling originality and transcendent beauty.

144 pages, oversized paperback original w/color & b&w photos, $22.95
Modest Mouse, Ted Leo, Bikini Kill, Fugazi, and The Shins are just some of the subjects in acclaimed photographer Pat Graham’s debut collection of work. The moments, the music, and the message all come alive with vivid intensity and searing honesty, as Graham documents the evolution of independent music history from his vantage point at the heart of the Washington, DC scene over the last two decades.
