Paul Bowles on Music: Includes the last interview with Paul Bowles
In this wonderfully engaging and informative collection we hear the voice of a different Paul Bowles. Writing on a wide range of subjects--jazz, film music, classical music, popular music, ethnic music--he is direct, opinionated, incisive, analytical, humorous, and passionate."--Millicent Dillon, author of You Are Not I: A Portrait of Paul Bowles

Do you remember these great pop stars and their hits? Deerhoof's The Man, The King, The Girl Butch Hancock's West Texas Waltzes and Dust Blown Tractor Tunes, Swamp Dogg's Cuffed, Collared and Tagged, Michael Head's The Magical World Of The Strands, John Trubee's The Communists Are Coming to Kill Us, John Phillips's Wolf King of L.A., and Michel Magne's Moshe Mouse Crucifiction? You will when you read Lost in the Grooves, a fascinating guide to the back alleys off the pop music superhighway.

This book peers into the depths of human behavior in order to answer a festering question of good and evil, truth and illusion: Why does humankind have such a fervor for victimizing animals?--victimizing them in slaughterhouses, in laboratories, on land and sea, for the satisfaction of appetites both holy and unholy? What we find once we gaze deeply enough, and earnestly enough, is something that Carl Jung called the shadow--a hidden crucible of behavior in which the angels and demons of our nature merge. Grave Pawns is a tour de force of interdisciplinary thinking, combining a wide variety of subject areas into a compelling theory of violence against animals.
