Imagine Edgar Allan Poe in London encountering Dr. Jekyll and Mr.
Hyde. This book takes you there-- through the shadowy back streets
to the heart of darkness where the esteemed Dr. Jekyll's
uninhibited and uncontrolled double dwells. This remix of the
famous novel by Robert Louis Stevenson includes added new chapters
featuring Poe, author of classic tales of terror and double selves.
In addition, sections of Stevenson's tale have been seamlessly
rewritten to include Poe in the famous story. The presence of Poe
amplifies themes present in Stevenson's original story. By
re-imagining the famous tale of a doppelganger, Jordan is able to
explore philosophical and literary ideas related to the theme of
doubles while also providing the same fast action and dream-like
setting in London as the original. NOTE: Also included is THE
ENTIRE ORIGINAL NOVEL BY STEVENSON, plus an essay on the writing of
the remix, plus hand-drawn illustrations by the author. "This
fantastic new version of Stevenson's tale is sure to be a classic
in its own right." -- Michael Meloan, co-author of THE SHROUD.
"Matt Dukes Jordan is scouting the misfit masters and scouring the
margins of mondo-Americana." -- Carlo McCormick, PAPER magazine "It
rolls off nicely." -- Charles Bukowski in a letter to Jordan
regarding a short story by Jordan.
In Bukowski's LA, poet, journalist, novelist, artist, actor,
filmmaker, and raconteur Matt Dukes Jordan takes Bukowski readers
and fans on a comprehensive tour of Bukowski's Los Angeles. Jordan
explores the relationship between Bukowski and the city that
inspired him, revealing the depth of the connection between his
life in his hometown and his artistic work. In a sense, this book
is a biography of a creative spirit told through the places where
he lived, wrote, painted, drank, and partied. It includes an
annotated list of key Bukowski places, essays about Bukowski's
relationship to L.A., maps, photos, drawings, a comic strip about
Bukowski, poems, and a preface by Bukowski's friend and biographer,
Neeli Cherkovski. This book is loaded with information and cool
images that Bukowski fans will enjoy Plus it has one more special
feature: a section of rare, unpublished photos by Sam Cherry, a
friend of Buk's, and father of Neeli Cherkovski.
