Paperback. Condición: Fair. Neal Pollack has been the Greatest Living American Writer across six decades, seven continents, and ten wives. He has won the Pulitzer Prize, the Booker Prize, the PEN/Faulkner Award (twice), and the Premio Simon Bolivar for contributions to the people's struggle in Latin America. In 1985, Pollack's writing was declared "beyond our meager standards" by the Swedish Academy With the publication of The Neal Pollack Anthology of American Literature, the definitive collection of his work in English, a new generation of readers is set to discover nothing less than the ultimate meaning of human existence on earth. This astonishing work of fictitious nonfiction, the funniest and most creatively styled postmodernist confection of its time, has been universally praised as the best book ever written except for maybe Don Quixote and The Shipping News. The Anthology -- now expanded, updated, and thoroughly repaginated -- answers, once and for all, the question that has plagued American society in general, and literary critics in particular, since Neal Pollack was born: "Who is Neal Pollack?" At last, we know.…

Paperback. Condición: Like New. The most important document in the history of rock 'n' roll since the liner notes to Killroy Was Here.(This paperback includes a new P.S. section with author interviews, insights, features, suggested readings, and more.) Never Mind the Pollacks, the first novel from acclaimed humorist Neal Pollack, is an epic history of rock-and-roll told through the eyes of two rival rock critics. The novel spans the decades from the 1940s to the present day, and includes such real-life characters as Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, Bruce Springsteen, Joey Ramone, Patti Smith, Kurt Cobain, and many more. Pollack deploys his trademark roasting of literary pomposity, but his narrative transcends mere parody to become full-fledged social satire. He takes on the icons of popular music and their biographers, true-life rock books and historical fiction. There has never been a book quite like this one, particularly since it contains more than two-dozen original songs written by the author. The life story of the book's main character, "Neal Pollack," is uniquely American. The only son of Jewish immigrant parents, he shows an aptitude early in life for rock criticism. Prodded by the legendary Sam Phillips and haunted by a ghostly, mysterious blues man, deeply disturbed by his mother's illegitimate marriage to Jerry Lee Lewis, he leaves his Memphis boyhood behind to become a folk troubadour in Greenwich Village. Six broken hearts, two liver transplants, and a lot of cocaine orgies later, he meets his ultimate destiny in a surprise ending that will shock anyone who wasn't paying attention to the early chapters. With Never Mind the Pollacks, Neal Pollack establishes himself as one of the most important novelists of his generation who isn't named Jonathan.…

Paperback. Condición: Fair. One cynical writer trades beer, bad reviews, and back spasms for downward dog in an irreverent quest for his best self. From Neal Pollack, acclaimed author of Alternadad and The Neal Pollack Anthology of American Literature, comes Stretch: The Unlikely Making of a Yoga Dude. Pollack charts his reluctant entry into wellness after a harsh review sends him fleeing from Austin doughnuts to a gym yoga class. The memoir tracks his path through crowded Los Angeles studios, a grueling twenty-four-hour yogathon, and a sweltering retreat in Thailand. Neighborhood studios provide the setting for a strained rotator cuff, mortifying flatulence, and volunteer shifts cleaning rental mats. Here is the hilarious but true account of an overweight, balding, skeptical guy who undergoes a miraculous transformation into a healthy, blissful, obsessively dedicated yoga fiend. Health and Fitness: Pollack braves a carpeted, 105-degree hell-sauna during a disastrous trial of Bikram yoga and reports from the eccentric sidelines of competitive national championships. Meditation: An intensive retreat on the island of Koh Samui pairs rigorous physical postures with deep dives into ancient sutras, guided by revered master Richard Freeman. Raw Honesty: Unvarnished dispatches explore the heights of modern yoga culture, from chaotic live-music festivals in Squaw Valley to high-end Venice studios featuring drum circles and hula hoops. Personal Growth: Confronting midlife anxiety and stubborn skepticism, the author progresses from hiding behind coffee-stained gym t-shirts to launching his own offbeat beginner classes at a Los Angeles Buddhist center.…
