These discussions between legendary painter, film-maker, and poet
Marcus Reichert and Edward Rozzo, professor of photographic
semantics and visual culture and renowned professional
photographer, are a revelation for their intimacy and honesty.
Reflecting on subjects as diverse as technique, eroticism,
spirituality, and the dictates of an increasingly powerful
bureaucracy of galleries and museums, Reichert and Rozzo come to
some startling and compelling conclusions. Generously illustrated
in colour with works by such visionary artists as Antonin Artaud,
Francis Bacon, Nan Goldin, and William Eggleston, ART & EGO is
essential reading for anyone drawn to confessional writing of a
disarming and amusing nature.
the novel's plot revolves around the beautiful fat man Diego
Ildefonso, once a refugee from Franco's Spain, and his wife and
child and their American friends. Manslaughter and kidnapping haunt
the Ildefonso, Nolan, and Rozzo families from the opening pages.
Rich in duplicity and betrayal, Hoboken is a study in corrupted
idealism and blind allegiance. Its characters lurch from one
incident to the next subservient to consumerism, tabloid sexuality,
and the need to be admired at any cost. No one leaves Reichert's
Hoboken unscathed. Marcus Reichert is the author of the novels
Verdon Angster (1995) and The Miracle of Fontana's Monkey (1997).
Displaced Person: Poetry, Pornography & Politics (Selected
Writings 1970-2005) and Art & Ego: Marcus Reichert in
Conversation with Edward Rozzo (2007) and are published by Ziggurat
Books.

A collection of observation and personal reminiscence on the
precarious subject of death, written in language that is academic,
poetic and sometimes, revealingly, both.
With over 200 images in colour and personal accounts by Deborah
Harry, writer/director Marcus Reichert, and Amos Chan, this book is
destined to become a cult classic like the film itself. It is rare
that a film is documented so beautifully or so intimately.
Especially fascinating are the shots of Deborah Harry acting in her
first starring role, and the behind-the-scenes images of Deborah
being transformed by make-up artist Richard Dean into the character
Lillian. Film clips and stills from lost scenes are also included.
