( A passionate tribute to the great Sioux chief and to an...)
A passionate tribute to the great Sioux chief and to an artist's determination to carve a huge statue of the fearless warrior into the Black Hills. In 1970, Joe Servello, whose ancestors were stonemasons, traveled to the Black Hills of South Dakota to see the gigantic portrait being carved in Thunderhead Mountain. So inspired was he by the story of Crazy Horse and Korczak Ziolkowski's seemingly impossible effort to create a mountain-size monument to the chief, he asked the sculptor for permission to illustrate a children's book about it. Servello took the sketches he made on the mountain to Kotzwinkle, who was equally inspired. The resulting book is a moving depiction of tragedy and redemption. "Korczak loved the Return of Crazy Horse... It's beautifully written and illustrated and we're delighted it's back in print." Ruth Ziolkowski, Korczak's widow. Ruth and the Ziolkowski children continue the heroic work. Upon completion, it will be the largest sculpture on earth, taller than the Great Pyramid of Egypt.

Deep in the bowels of Junk Moon, the finest scientists of Planet Immortal are nearing completion of a project that will unlock the secret of immortality. Project Amphora is run by the Consortium, twelve of the planet’s most influential movers and shakers. They aren’t the only ones after immortality: Commander Jockey Oldcastle, a wise-cracking space pirate, has heard about the Amphora Project from a banished scientist who is convinced it will lead to the end of the world. Oldcastle sets off to find the project with Adrian Link, a timid botanist who wants only to tend to his plants on the Agricultural Plain, yet Oldcastle finds himself trying to unravel a strange mystery: It seems the Amphora Project is turning the citizens of Planet Immortal into crystal. As time runs out, it is up to Oldcastle and Link -- and Link’s exotic, unlikely love interest -- to stop their mysterious extradimensional enemy before their world is lost forever. Hilarious, wildly inventive, and featuring a fantastical cast of mutants, quasihuman robots, intergalactic mercenaries, and two-thousand-year-old immortals, The Amphora Project is a novel that combines elements of science fiction and fantasy and transcends the boundaries of both.

Winner of the World Fantasy Award "DOCTOR RAT is dazzlingly original, witty and insanely satiric. It is also occasionally quite beautiful. Kotzwinkle's tale is a dizzying montage . . . from scenes of gross black humor in the experimental lab to idyllic glimpses of the animal kingdom. Designed to shock us into ecological awareness, Kotzwinkle's lab experiments are hair-raising" -Los Angeles TimesA bloodcurdling novel in the spirit of ANIMAL FARM and 1984, DOCTOR RAT is a trip through a laboratory worthy of a Nazi mad doctor, except this doctor is a wisecracking rodent who could have been played by Groucho Marx. The London Times called DOCTOR RAT, "a splendidly nutty animal Magnificat with echoes of William Blake" "Mr. Kotzwinkle is a first-rate fabulist" -The New York Times

"Pure magic. The mystery turns on the convoluted history of an old master toy maker will makes his toys with such skill that they have lives of their own. It would be advisable to sit down while reading what the toys finally do" -PlayboyAt the fashionable salon of Ric Lazare you can have your fortune told by an amazing machine of unerring accuracy. But the Paris police think Lazare is a con man and send Inspector Picard to investigate. Inspector Picard prefers lemon tarts and prostitutes to high society; and he is unprepared for the string of murders that pulls him across the continent until he is tangled in the killer's last seductive knot. A landmark in the history of detective fiction, mystery is taken to the level of enchantment in this lyrical thriller set in the glitter of nineteenth century Paris" Alternately dark and glittering . . . a first rate vaudeville turn, a comedic mask lightly stretched over enigmatic questions . . . a witty sendup of the detective story, an intriguing meditation on illusion and the conjurer's art, an antic fantasy done with a richness of invention that doffs a hat to Dickens . . . Inspector Picard's quest takes him across a vividly imagined Europe, a continent of the mind, peopled with wonderfully baroque characters. The illusion, in all its myriad forms abounds. Everywhere there are magical happenings . . . and everywhere, there is the magic wrought by Kotzwinkle himself" -Chicago Tribune
