THE CLOTHES HAVE NO EMPEROR
Posted on: February 4, 2011
Out of print for two decades, we’re reissuing this collection of idiocy, offensiveness and absurdity to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Reagan’s birth by providing evidence to counter the vigorously propagated fable that Ronald Reagan, Godhead to the bitterly regressive party of greed and hate that the Republicans have become, was a Great President.
Radio Shangri-La
Posted on: January 27, 2011From Publishers Weekly
When Napoli met the handsome Sebastian at a cookbook party in New York City, she was intrigued by this man who traveled to Bhutan regularly. And when the accomplished L.A.-based journalist (MSNBC, CNN, public radio’s Marketplace) researched the country about which he spoke so enthusiastically, she became entranced with Bhutan, a tiny Himalayan kingdom that sits between India and China. This country–dubbed “the happiest on earth” because of its focus on environmental and social progress–is hard to get to, with its remote location and governmental deterrents to tourism, like a per-person, per-day tourist tax. But a friend of Sebastian’s needs help with startup radio station Kuzoo FM, so Napoli leaves L.A. and goes to Bhutan for six weeks. She writes, “After more than two decades of reducing even the most complex issues to 1,000 words or less, I was tired of observing life from a distance.” While the author turns an eye on her own motivations (nothing further developed with Sebastian), she refrains from tortured navel-gazing and instead shares and reflects on Bhutan’s people, history, and customs (from painting phalluses on houses to repel evil spirits to Buddhism’s role in daily life). Napoli’s adventures at home and abroad, in nature and career and spirit, will delight readers. (Feb.)

Hurricane Delilah
Posted on: August 2, 2010By Liz Dubelman Honestly, I don’t know why I’m so angry all the time. People ask – my mom, Ms. Powell (my teacher), Mr. Hernandez (my 9th grade counselor). I wish I could tell them, but when I open my mouth to say, I don’t know, it comes out as Fuck-off. It’s like there’s a [...]
The Son-In-Law
Posted on: June 28, 2010By Liz Dubelman The taxi let Samantha off in front of 1129 Wellesley Avenue. Sam had written that address on countless envelopes and packages containing birthday and anniversary wishes. She hadn’t been to the house for years, since Kelly and Keith bought it after they had been married a few years. Back then Sam hadn’t [...]
Hit On The Head
Posted on: June 28, 2010By Liz Dubelman I don’t remember a time when I didn’t think it would be more fun to still live at 500-A Grand Street. The address seemed so majestic — Grand Street – and there were parks you could walk to. Englewood Cliffs had no parks. We were confined to our back yard, where we [...]
The Patient
Posted on: June 28, 2010By Liz Dubleman Dr. Anderson put her notepad down, took another small sip of wine and reflectively rubbed her head. There was a book of matches on her desk that she unconsciously thumbed. The matches were from Le Petite Café. Herbert used to take her there on special occasions. A lovely French couple owned the [...]
