Manning, Mark Collateral Damage: The Zodiac Mindwarp 2001 American Tour
London: Creation Books, 2002. First Edition. Paperback. New. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall 1840680776 October 2001: Ten years after their last US tour with Guns & Roses, Zodiac Mindwarp & the Love Reaction once again take to the lost highways of an America still reeling from the terrorist attacks of September 11th, to wreak their own brand of sonic destruction and mayhem across the continent. From New York to Philadelphia to San Francisco to Reno and finally Hollywood, the tour unfurls with rapidly escalating levels of debauchery. Mark Manning’s journal details the adventures of his alter-ego Zodiac and cohorts on this explosive road trip of alcohol abuse, sexual deviancy and noise pollution with his customary acid humour and candid insight. 'A man cursed with a libido which might have provided Freud with material for several books and a Broadway musical.' - The Independent on Sunday. Since fronting the legendary Zodiac Mindwarp & the Love Reaction, singer-songwriter Mark Manning has mutated into a highly respected and popular full-time author. Previous titles include: Bad Wisdom (Penguin, with Bill Drummond), Crucify Me Again (Codex), Get Your Cock Out (Attack Books), the introduction to John Wesley Hardin's Gunfighter and Fucked by Rock (a Creation Books best-seller in 2001). He regularly writes for The Idler literary magazine alongside Louis Theroux and Bill Drummond, performs annually at the Clerkenwell Literary Festival and appeared at Stockholm's Spoken Word Festival (2000). Born in Leeds, Manning has long since made Clerkenwell, London his permanent base. "The Marquis de Sade of Rock'n' Roll" New York Press. (Book ref. 038982) £6.99

Miles, Barry The Beat Hotel: Ginsberg, Burroughs and Corso in Paris, 1957-1963
New York: Grove Press, 2000. First Edition. Hardcover. New/New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall 080211668X The Beat Hotel has been closed for 40 years. But for a brief period from just after the publication of Howl in 1957 until the building was sold in 1963. It was home to Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs, Gregory Corso, Brion Gysin, Peter Orlovsky, Harold Norse, and other luminaries of the Beat Generation. A cheap rooming house on the bohemian Left Bank, the hotel was inhabited mostly by writers and artists, and its communal atmosphere spurred the Beats to incredible heights of creativity. Ginsberg's "Kaddish" and "To Aunt Rose", Corso's The Happy Birthday of Death, and Burroughs's Naked Lunch were completed here. Barry Miles biographer of Burroughs, Kerouac, and Ginsberg, and an acquaintance of many of the Beats vividly excavates this period, supplementing a literary history that has tended to be centered on New York and California. "A fine sketch of a bohemian tribe that seems, four mind-bending decades later, refreshingly innocent." NYTBR. (Book ref. 038971) £7.99
