P>"Critical Vision "collects together the best articles from the
rare early issues of Headpress journal: long out-of-print
collectors' items. Updated and revised-with the inclusion of new

Based in New Jersey, Factory 2000 makes low-budget exploitation
films which inhabit a place removed from the traditional realms of
cut-price sex and violence. Courtesy of exclusive interviews,
on-set reports and film reviews, Headpress 22 investigates these
highly controversial asphyxiation-fetish filmmakers, whose most
recent effort -- Duck! The Carbine High Massacre -- resulted in
their arrest. Also included are interviews with James Ellroy, gay
pornographer Bruce La Bruce, tasteless impersonator Dead Elvis, and
porn star-cum-brothel girl Jeannie Rivers.
A work of fact, fiction, fable and folklore spanning three
generations of southern Italian family life. "Europe ends at Naples
and ends badly. Calabria, Sicily and all the rest belong to
Africa." - Creuz de Lesser, 1806 No geographical map distinguishes
Montefalcione as being different from any number of isolated
mountain villages in southern Italy. It has ancient customs and its
own saints and feast days, like other villages. Yet Montefalcione
in Campania is the setting for a unique meditation on family and
the Italian Diaspora, reconstructing three generations of village
life through myth, superstition, and the anecdotal history of the
author's own family. The drama unfolds amidst a landscape of
peasant riots, vicious landlords, religious festival, feuds, the
collapse of the Fascist party, and the tarantella - a world lost to
the changing face of the twenty-first century.

the despicable-whether through fault or by design; all have a tale
to tell.
An indispensable sampling of the vast assortment of publications

more.
