Worldwide U.S. or visit: “DO YOU HAVE A DIRTY MIND?” A youthful bohemian satire, a story of alienated nonconformists, a Thelma & Louise (“buddy love”/“girls on the lam”) story, a sexploitation and S/M romp, a lampoon of auteur film-making, a satire of media celebrity and “true-life” tabloid sensationalism. An anti-consumerist pulp epic that could be labeled a black comedy. Welcome to the psychosexual world of PERMANENT OBSCURITY Inspired by the underground sexploitation films of the 1960s, this bold updating of the “roughie” subgenre largely takes place in the East Village (ca. 2006), and it chronicles the rise and fall of a unique and intense, er ... friendship. Dolores and Serena, two chemically dependent, down-and-out artists set out to take control of their lives by making a fetish-noir/femdom movie. Of course, things don't exactly turn out as planned.

The Losers' Club: Complete Restored Edition! 
by Richard Perez

“I was hooked. I couldn’t put it down until I finished…. I was simply impressed that these were real, instantly recognizable people…poor lonely bastards of every stripe resorting to utter humiliation and personal endangerment in the barest hope of hooking up with a kindred spirit.
It’s a brave book with a great deal of heart.”

 —Poppy Z. Brite

“A very beautiful valentine to a time and place almost faded from existence.”
—Mary Gaitskill,
Bad Behavior, Veronica

“Funny and endearing—and wisely not so hip as to avoid
a good grab for your heart.”
—Marcie Hershman,
Safe in America, Tales of the Master Race

The Losers' Club is a vibrant and hopeful anthem for all of us 'losers' who choose not to wallow (for too long!) in our despair and who find the will to keep searching.”— Heather Lowcock, Joseph-Beth Booksellers, Lexington KY*

“Stunningly Original”
—The Austin-American Statesman

“Funny, hip, sad, and very, very smart, this superbly written novel
tells a story with which all of us can identify in this age
of computers and information overload. This is truly an 'epic quest,'
an often hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking
search for peace and solace and ordinary human happiness.”
—Tim O’Brien
