Songs Of The Dead

Description

A non-stop thriller which deftly blends the paranormal, sci-fi and an engaging political voice. A serial killer stalks the streets of Spokane, acting out a misogynist script. Across town, a writer named Derrick has spent his life tracking the reasons, be they political, psychological or spiritual, for the sadism of the modern world. And through the grim nights, Nika, a trafficked woman, tries to survive the grinding violence of prostitution. Their lives, and the forces propelling them, are about to collide.

Hailed as the philosopher poet of the ecological movement, Derrick Jensen is the widely acclaimed author of Endgame, A Language Older Than Words, The Culture of Make Believe, and many others. Jensen's writing has been described as breaking and mending the reader's heart (Publishers Weekly). His latest book: How Shall I Live My Life?: On Liberating the Earth from Civilization (PM Press) is a collection of interviews with ten activists who have devoted their lives to undermining the destructive dominant culture. Author, teacher, activist, and leading voice of uncompromising dissent, he regularly stirs auditoriums across the country with revolutionary spirit. He lives in Crescent City, California.

"Derrick Jensen is a rare and original voice of sanity in a chaotic world. He has wisdom and wit, grace and style, and is a wonderful guide to a good life beautifully lived." --Howard Zinn, author of A People's History of the United States "Derrick Jensen is a public intellectual who both breaks and mends the reader's heart." --Frances Moore Lappe, author of Diet For A Small Planet "Derrick Jensen is a man driven to stare without flinching at the baleful design of our culture... His analysis of our culture's predilection for hatred and destruction will rattle your bones." --Daniel Quinn, author of Ishmael
