The Sot-Weed Factor
Author: John Barth
Publisher: Deep Vellum Publishing
ISBN: 1628972009
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 737
Book Description
This is Barth's most distinguished masterpiece. This modern classic is a hilarious tribute to all the most insidious human vices, with a hero who is "one of the most diverting...to roam the world since Candide." "A feast. Dense, funny, endlessly inventive (and, OK, yes, long-winded) this satire of the 18th-century picaresque novel-think Fielding's Tom Jones or Sterne's Tristram Shandy -is also an earnest picture of the pitfalls awaiting innocence as it makes its unsteady way in the world. It's the late 17th century and Ebenezer Cooke is a poet, dutiful son and determined virgin who travels from England to Maryland to take possession of his father's tobacco (or "sot weed") plantation. He is also eventually given to believe that he has been commissioned by the third Lord Baltimore to write an epic poem, The Marylandiad. But things are not always what they seem. Actually, things are almost never what they seem. Not since Candide has a steadfast soul witnessed so many strange scenes or faced so many perils. Pirates, Indians, shrewd prostitutes, armed insurrectionists - Cooke endures them all, plus assaults on his virginity from both women and men. Barth's language is impossibly rich, a wickedly funny take on old English rhetoric and American self-appraisals. For good measure he throws in stories within stories, including the funniest retelling of the Pocahontas tale -revealed to us in the "secret" journals of Capt. John Smith - that anyone has ever dared to tell." —Time Magazine

Book Description
"Spliffs," European slang for joint, can be rolled with marijuana alone, or may include tobacco mixed with either marijuana or hashish. This little but potent item sparks this colorful, wide-ranging salute to cannabis. Laid out with splashy graphics in magazine format, Spliffs 2 mixes engaging short narrative and satirical pieces with instructional and practical information. With over 100 color illustrations, the book contains profiles of outlaw heroes and famous dope smugglers; "A Smoker's Life for Me," for potheads who insist on integrating the plant into every aspect of their lives; a pictorial tour of rolling papers past and present; and a guide to cannabis etiquette. There's a section on movies and marijuana for altered-state film buffs, a map of cannabis use around the world for geographically minded ganjistas, and a guide to pot-themed events and festivals worldwide. More serious stoners can expand their minds with essays on pot in politics, medicine, religion, and art.
