 Adventures in
Unhistory
Author:
Davidson, Avram, Pages:
308
Not
a novel, nor a book of short stories, Adventures in Unhistory is a book
of the fantastic - a compendium of magisterial examinations of
Mermaids, Mandrakes, and Mammoths; Dragons, Werewolves, and Unicorns;
the Phoenix and the Roc; about places such as Sicily, Siberia, and the
Moon; about heroic, sinister, and legendary persons such as Sindbad,
and Aleister Crowley, and Prester John; and - revealed at last - the
Secret of Hyperborea. The facts are here, but far from being dry
recitals, these meditations, or lectures, or deadpan prose performances
are lively, crazily inventive, and witty.

happening in Hollywood. These directors and their films toyed with form
and narrative, shocked with their sex and violence, and dizzied
audiences with surreal themes and images. In making their films, the
rebel directors fought their way through a studio system that by the
1990s had become part of America's larger corporate culture, brutally
focused on the bottom line, not the art of films.
