A lonely junkmailer, his bag full of real estate leaflets, wanders the streets of a sleeping, subtropical city. Accompanied by a host of bizarre companions he is led on a quixote journey through the night time streets.
Arriving late in Kyoto Patrick Holland cannot find a room for the night. Homeless and disorientated and in a place where loitering is not encouraged his only solution is to ride the trains. The train journey is the starting point for a book that also describes travels through Vietnam, mountains in the Chinese Himalaya, lost cities of the Silk Road, mist-swathed cemeteries in Japan and the flat plains of Australia.
A novel about horse thieves, broken promises, love and regret. Patrick Holland captures the fragility and grace of small town life and how one fateful moment can forever alter the course of our lives.
The Buddhist Third Class Junkmail Oracle collects d.a. levy's poetry, his collages--in both color and black-and-white--and other examples of his art, in a splendid large-format celebration of levy's unique contribution. A visual artist, and an important figure in the concrete poetry movement, levy was also an activist and mystic who either committed suicide or was murdered at the age of twenty-six in East Cleveland. This occurred after two and a half years of intense media coverage, police harassment and court trials, and just as he was starting to be recognized as one of the most important geniuses of his generation. Edited, with an investigative essay on Levy's life and mysterious death, by Mike Golden.
