Böcker av David Ohle

One Good Friday, Randy crucified a lizard in the schoolyard with Popsicle sticks and push pins. By age fourteen he was an avowed atheist, yet entered a Benedictine monastery until he was expelled for heresy. He liked to piss in the Church's baptismal font and tell elaborate lies in the confessional. His father was a petty criminal, his mother a hopeless schizophrenic. Randy, himself, was committed to a mental hospital on several occasions when we were in high school. This memoir is a record of our life-long friendship, compiled from dusty old memories, letters, and photographs. While I pursued a career in writing and teaching, Randy achieved world-wide fame as an insect physiologist and author of several definitive works on the lives of bees and wasps. -David Ohle, 2024

City Moon is David Ohle’s novelization of all 18 issues of his cult 1970s newspaper, heavily edited and re-processed. It is offered for the first time as a single volume. The neutrodynes, the satire, the mystery cults, as well as Ohle’s dada-seance of Americana, are as vivid and intoxicating and seriously funny as ever.In Ohle’s world, people (not to mention the many related species, including trochilics neutrodynes and necronauts, as well as cross-species creatures such as the ape of golf) are all part of a continuum of life in which human and animal life forms scarcely differ from each other. —Roger Martin
