	1	Codrescu, Andrei; Rosenthal, Laura (Editors) Thus Spake the Corpse: An Exquisite Corpse Reader 1988-1998 Fictions Travels & Translations Black Sparrow Press 2000 1574231413 / 9781574231410 Trade Paperback As New Brand-New copy. NO remainder marks or clippings. NO writing, marks or tears. Tight spine, bright pages. 483 pages. Publishers Weekly Aptly known as "the anti-literary literary magazine" (read anti-New Yorker), Exquisite Corpse, edited by prolific writer and translator Codrescu, has been delighting and outraging readers since 1988 with its often clever irreverence toward (and sometimes direct assault upon) anything that resembles "the Establishment" (which includes political correctness, institutionalized MFA programs and any kind of aesthetic conformity). Assembled in this hefty second volume are more than 100 of the best selections from the journal's first 10 years of publication (Volume 1, with poetry and essays, was published in 1999). While the voices and works represented here vary to the point of chaos (albeit a pleasant one), they are grouped into three sections. In "Lives of the Poets," we find writings by Pete Seeger, Jan Kerouac and Sparrow, as well as those on the journal's internecine "Ed Dorn controversy"--initiated by Mark Spitzer's negative portrait of his former mentor--which apparently still upsets certain souls. Included in fiction, which Codrescu prefers to call "prose efforts," are stylistically varied works by Maggie Dubris, Eric Kraft and Hariette Surovell. And in the most substantial and engrossing section, "Travel & Translation," we journey from a series on Derrida's possible use of LSD to "The New Bucharest" ("So much ugliness can only have been planned") by Richard Collins and "South Korea: At Play in the Year of the Dog," in which Robert Perchan describes being urged to consume dog meat to enhance his virility. The best aspects of the spirit of the Beats lives on in this frequently sassy, salty, silly and ultimately satisfying reading experience Price: 5.00 USD

	2	Codrescu, Andrei Zombification: Stories from National Public Radio New York, New York, U.S.A. Picador USA 1995 031211933X / 9780312119331 Trade Paperback Near-Fine Near-fine condition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Tight spine, clean pages. Covers are clean (NO tears). 308 pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. - "The world is undergoing zombification. It was gradual for a while, a few zombies here and there, mostly in high office, where being a corpse in a suit was de rigueur . . . The worst part about zombies raging unchecked is the slow paralysis they induce in people who aren't quite zombies yet." Never at a loss for a trenchant comment or off-beat imagery, National Public Radio's Andrei Codrescu has long been considered an eloquent if often sardonic expert on the absurdities of American culture. The essays in Zombification (all taken from this poet's popular commentaries for NPR) were broadcast during the late 1980s and early 1990s, a period that witnessed the collapse of Communism, radical changes in American politics and society, and the birth of new nations. These large subjects—along with lively riffs on dozens of topics, both timely and timeless, both everyday and strange—are treated with Codrescu's inimitable wit, insight, and candor. Included here are "Seven Embryos for Seven Lawyers," "Dali in Vegas," "Culture Vultures and Casserole Widows," and other classics. Annotation Never at a loss for a trenchant comment, Andrei Codrescu has been chronicling the absurdities of American culture for over 10 years. This collection of essays includes lively riffs on whales, dreams, gypsies, and weather, as well as larger subjects such as the collapse of communism and radical change in American politics.
