PERMANENT OBSCURITY: Or a Cautionary Tale of Two Girlsand Their Misadventures with Drugs, Pornography and Death by Dolores Santana (as told to Richard Perez) * A youthful bohemian satire, * a story of alienated nonconformists, * a "girls on the lam" story, * a sexploitation and S/M romp, * a spoof of cult celebrity and "true-life" tabloid sensationalism:PERMANENT OBSCURITYInspired by the underground sexploitation films of the 1960s, this bold updating of the "roughie" subgenre and lampoon of auteur filmmaking largely takes place in New York City's East Village (circa the Bush era), and it chronicles the rise and fall of a unique and intense relationship. 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.
WHAT IS LOVE? In the game of love, there are winners and losers.In 'THE LOSERS' CLUB', Richard Perez tries to answer the eternal question. Set in downtown New York City, 'THE LOSERS' CLUB' tells the story of Martin Sierra, an unlucky writer addicted to the personals. His journey brings us into the East Village, pre-9/11 - and in contact with Nikki, his dream woman, who remains unattainable romantically yet becomes his friend and confidant during his illuminating misadventures. Populated with characters and surprises few will ever forget, this energetic, comic novel is as much about a generation (we won't say "X") as it is about a specific time and place.
