Book Description
A few fabulous trips. Eight crazy people. Tons of mad drama. “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.” For the eight members of the Destination: Anticipation Travel Club (DAT Club) — this popular motto doesn’t exactly ring true. The group is sorely reminded that dirt is dirt is dirt, no matter where it happens and eventually folks are going to find out about it, no matter how hard they try to cover up their individual misdeeds. Identical twins Madetra Howard, a frustrated, inner-city hospital doctor and Elantra Evans, a stripper/web-porn operator, start a travel club and along for the ride are: Madetra’s uncaring husband who secretly loves his sister-in-law and is hell-bent on distancing himself from his humble beginnings, a self-absorbed local TV anchorman who develops a thing for every woman he meets, a mysterious psychiatrist who is nuttier than his patients, a female TV news producer whose affair with a fellow travel club member leaves her pregnant and reeling, a reporter whose Sex & The Single Sistah column reveals a little too much about the city’s elite and a petty drug dealer/minor league baseball player who will do anything or anyone to get out of the cut and into the major leagues. For DAT Club, all hell breaks loose following a trip to Las Vegas. With secrets as deep and twisted as the road is long — everyone is in peril when a blackmailer and killer among them makes their presence known. Each of them must learn for themselves there are consequences to be paid for their actions — and when the men start dying off — the women start questioning their allegiances, their safety and their sanity. To put it simply, these folks are TRIPPIN’. So sit back, fasten your seatbelt and enjoy this explosive, drama-filled literary ride.

Trippin' with Terry Southern
Author: Gail Gerber
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 0786487275
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 277
Book Description
This award-winning memoir about "the hippest guy on the planet" recollects novelist/screenwriter Terry Southern's highs and lows, his association with the Beat Generation, and his movie cult classics Dr. Strangelove and Easy Rider. In 1964, Terry Southern met actress Gail Gerber on the set of The Loved One. He was enjoying his success from co-writing the risque novel Candy, a satire of Candide, and the movie Dr. Strangelove; she had just co-starred with Elvis Presley in Girl Happy. Though they were both married, there was an instant connection and they remained a couple until his death 30 years later. In her memoir, Gail recalls what life was like with "the hippest guy on the planet." It documents their life together and contains numerous photographs of Terry and Gail with friends both famous and notorious. The wickedly gifted satirist, who had a stint writing for Saturday Night Live, kept company with the likes of Lenny Bruce, Dennis Hopper, Ringo Starr, William Burroughs, George Segal, Harry Nilsson, George Plimpton, David Amram and Rip Torn. It also reveals what went on behind the scenes of Gail's movies (including The Girls on the Beach and Village of the Giants), and Terry's movies (including The Cincinnati Kid, Casino Royale, Barbarella, The Magic Christian, End of the Road, and Easy Rider).

Trip
Author: Tao Lin
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 1101974508
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
Part memoir, part history, part journalistic exposé, Trip is a look at psychedelic drugs, literature, and alienation from one of the twenty-first century's most innovative novelists--The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test for a new generation. A Vintage Original. While reeling from one of the most creative--but at times self-destructive--outpourings of his life, Tao Lin discovered the strange and exciting work of Terence McKenna. McKenna, the leading advocate of psychedelic drugs since Timothy Leary, became for Lin both an obsession and a revitalizing force. In Trip, Lin's first book-length work of nonfiction, he charts his recovery from pharmaceutical drugs, his surprising and positive change in worldview, and his four-year engagement with some of the hardest questions: Why do we make art? Is the world made of language? What happens when we die? And is the imagination more real than the universe? In exploring these ideas and detailing his experiences with psilocybin, DMT, salvia, and cannabis, Lin takes readers on a trip through nature, his own past, psychedelic culture, and the unknown.
