Silverberg.....welll, well. Do you know of any other surprising literary ventures of this type? I'm trying to put a book together on the subject. Credit will appear...
Doctor, in the words of Neil Young, "I used to order just to watch her float across the floor".
Gary, I think you'll find many riches amongst titles published in the late 'sixties and early 'seventies by Essex House of North Hollywood, California. Charles Bukowski and Philip José Farmer count amongst the authors they published. John Glassco's grand hoax The Temple of Pederasty (1970) appeared under sister imprint Hanover House.
A writer, ghostwriter, écrivain public, literary historian and bibliophile, I'm the author of Character Parts: Who's Really Who in CanLit (Knopf, 2003), and A Gentleman of Pleasure: One Life of John Glassco, Poet, Translator, Memoirist and Pornographer (McGill-Queen's UP, 2011; shortlisted for the Gabrielle Roy Prize). I've edited over a dozen books, including The Heart Accepts It All: Selected Letters of John Glassco (Véhicule, 2013) and George Fetherling's The Writing Life: Journals 1975-2005 (McGill-Queen's UP, 2013). I currently serve as series editor for Ricochet Books and am a contributing editor for Canadian Notes & Queries. My most recent book is The Dusty Bookcase (Biblioasis, 2017), a collection of revised and expanded reviews first published here and elsewhere.
Best waitress ever.
