JULY 4TH — BLACK SCAT BOOKS IS CELEBRATING FOUR YEARS OF PUBLISHING SUBLIME ART AND LITERATURE.
Let nonsense reign!
Others may hoist the stars and stripes, but around here we raise the Black Scat flag in a pagan celebration of indie publishing. Fireworks are set to blow and light up the night. Today calls for sheer mischief and revelry—an orgy of DADA & Pataphysical calisthenics.
YES, VIRGINIA, THERE ARE ANGELS IN THIS WORLD
We’d like to thank Alain Arias-Misson, Peter Gambaccini, Barbara LaPlaca-Hardy, and Carla M. Wilson for their generous support and devotion over the years—without their help Black Scat Books would never have made it to this ripe old age.
A word of special thanks to writer/photographer Doug Rice who, when he learned we were faced with suspending publication due to an exorbitant price hike for ISBNs, stepped up and offered funding to keep the good ship afloat. We are eternally grateful .
And thanks to the readers who buy our books and keep the blood in our veins flowing.
HERE’S TO FOUR MORE YEARS—-Cheers!
Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (1881 – 1975) was one of the most popular humorists of the twentieth century. The author of nearly 100 books, he is best known as the creator of the Bertie Wooster and Jeeves series and the novels and stories set at Blandings Castle. In the words of Evelyn Waugh, “Mr. Wodehouse’s idyllic world can never stale. He will continue to release future generations from captivity that may be more irksome than our own. He has made a world for us to live in and delight in.” Indeed, in the wondrous land of Wodehouse a faux pas often constitutes a crisis and the farce of human foibles rules the realm. The master’s intricately designed plots are peppered with potholes for his characters to stumble over, the street signs have all been mischievously switched and identities mistaken – yet all roads lead to a happy end.
