Permanent Midnight
Summary
“An extraordinary accomplishment.... A remarkable book that will be of great value to people who feel isolated, alienated and overwhelmed by the circumstances of their lives.” --Hubert Selby, Jr., author of Last Exit to Brooklyn “[Stahl] is a better-than-Burroughs virtuoso.” --Thomas Mallon, The New Yorker “Original, appalling, indelible picture of a man trying to swim and drown at the same time. Stahl has nerve, heart, a language of his own and a ghastly, riotous humor.” --Tobias Wolff, author of This Boy’s Life “Permanent Midnight is one of the most harrowing and toughest accounts ever written in this century about what it means to be a junkie in America, making Burroughs look dated and Kerouac appear as the nose-thumbing adolescent he was.” --Booklist A searing confessional infused with the darkest humor, Permanent Midnight chronicles the opiated abyss of a Hollywood screenwriter and his formidable climb into sobriety. Made into a major motion picture starring Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson, Permanent Midnight is revered by critics and an ever-growing cult of devoted fans as one of the most compelling contemporary memoirs.

Stronzate che capitano quando non muori giovane
Summary
Jerry Stahl racconta le avventure di un uomo che nel proverbiale autunno dei suoi anni o, quantomeno, nel pre-autunno, scopre che la sua ragazza è incinta. E che diventerà padre. Nuovamente. Soltanto che questa volta vuole riuscirci nel modo giusto: senza eroina, e con un sacco di mal di schiena in più. Con questo libro Stahl torna a offrirci il suo stile confessionale, autobiografico e sporco, quello che ha contribuito ad alimentarne il culto a partire da Mezzanotte a vita. Questa volta, però, affronta un argomento ancora più terrificante del bucarsi in strada, allucinante come gli alieni pelosi che stanno graffiando alla tua porta, e più sincero del cagarsi nei pantaloni durante le crisi per la disintossicazione: la paternità. "Stronzate che ti capitano quando non muori giovane" racconta questa avventura in una serie di scenette cupamente comiche, un vero calcio nelle palle al sentimentalismo sdolcinato che spesso affligge i libri sulle gioie di essere genitore. Per chi non lo conoscesse ancora, questo libro è il perfetto wormhole per avere accesso nell'universo Stahl. Per la copertina: elaborazione grafica di Echi moderni. >> Questo audiobook in edizione integrale vi è offerto in esclusiva per Audible ed è disponibile solamente in formato audio digitale.

Bad Sex on Speed
Summary
Bad Sex on Speed is a savage, careening, hyper-real nightmare of a novel, taking us to the depths of Amphetamine America. Told with no concession to traditional narrative, in the voices of those in the grips and on the fringes, the stories that emerge are at once devastating, hysterical, and - perhaps most terrifying of all - going on all around you, all the time. Stahl digs deep into the psyche of the most demented and dispossessed among us, returning with a vision so unsparing that those not prepared to experience the screaming depths of speed psychosis up close should back slowly away and return to their lives unscathed.

OG (Old Guy) Dad
Summary
Old Guy Dad recounts the adventures of a man who, in the autumn of his years - or at least the pre-autumn - discovers his girlfriend is pregnant. He is going to be a father. Again. Only this time he wants to do it right: no heroin, plenty of low-back pain. A collection of celebrated columns from The Rumpus with new material and never-before-told tales, OG Dad finds Jerry Stahl fighting a terminal disease - not to mention mortality, sleeplessness, and the soul-crushing weirdness of preschool drop-offs with parents half his age. Square is the last frontier.
