EROTIC CONTENT – FOR ADULTS ONLY

This memoir of the adult life of James Talos Jr. spans over fifty years in the form of stream-of-consciousness thought. It keys on two events: his ultimately-deadly encounter with the beautiful and vicious gangster Maria the Saint in the 1920's, and the aftermath of the war with the Gnostic Archons in the 1970's. 

His relationship with the woman he thinks is his cousin, Rickie Talos, is also explored in powerful depth. Forty years of their sexual affair is laid bare, plunging deep into the intense passions and violent obsessions that drive them both. 

That violence, and both the shadows and realities of death, come full circle from the events that shaped Doc's father into Jack the Ripper, through his own journey to become a man embodying peace and hope. 

Also included in this volume is the short, lethally surreal photostory Doc Talos vs. Maria the Saint, and the tale of a wild Harlem night out on the town in the 1930's for Rickie Talos, The King and the Angel. 

This special edition of Passages is composed entirely of full color scans of the raw paintings and paint-spattered texts that comprise the original manuscript of the book. It is like reading a secret document, exhumed from a dark and mysterious past. 

R. Paul Sardanas is an acclaimed author and poet, nominated ten times for the Rhysling Award for Best Speculative Poetry. Iason Ragnar Bellerophon's award-winning work has been displayed in American galleries for decades, and has been described as powerful, primal, and transcendent.
