WHIM tells the story of a very Magical Indian boy who finds that he has been sent to earth by his Father Lord Chance to discover the Big U.T.—ultimate truth. As a high school football star just discovering sex, Whim is distracted from his quest by being in love with the brainy, sexy but very moral Dawn, and also by his rival Billy Best, who wants to discover u.t. so he can market it and make a bundle. The novel is filled with Zen-like encounters between Whim and his Montauk mentor Grain-of-Sand; Narsufin, the great black Sufi sage famous for his hook shot; and the Abominable Snowman Sage of the Himalayas. In the end Whim finds his u.t., saves the Montauk nation, and wins the heart (and all other bodily parts) of his beloved Dawn. "One of my favorite reads of the year . . . Pure entertainment" — Belfast Telegraph; "Anarchic, hip, subversive and comic . . . " — The Times, London; One of the great comic novels of the decade, (WHIM) is pure delight, a book with a smile built into just about every line. In Whim Rhinehart gives us an innocent abroad in the tradition of Candide, Don Quixote and Michael Valentine Smith, while the comments of Billy, his pompous father, and the highly moral Dawn provide hilarious counterpoint to events in Whim's life. --Peter Tennant, reviewing all of Luke's books in The Third Alternative, Issue 27.

El Hombre de los Dados regresa de la mano de Destino, el sello que lo publicó por primera vez en español, ahora en una nueva edición que incluye un prólogo de Emmanuel Carrère. Este clásico de culto, iniciático y subversivo, se erige como una de las novelas más influyentes del siglo XX. Con su visión irreverente de la vida y la libertad, desafía al lector a rendirse al azar, dejando una huella profunda en generaciones enteras. Turbadora, sagaz y hermosamente cómica. —Anthony Burges Entre los grandes libros de culto del SXX.—The Telegraph Uno de los 50 libros más influyentes de la última mitad del SXX—BBC El novelista del siglo—Loaded El psicoanalista Luke Rhinehart decide transformar su vida en un juego, dejando que los dados tomen todas sus decisiones. Lo que comienza como un experimento personal pronto se convierte en una revolución: el 'síndrome del dado' se propaga, alarmando a las autoridades, ya que el Dr. Rhinehart podría haber descubierto, sin proponérselo, un método capaz de desmantelar la civilización. El hombre de los dados es un manifiesto provocador que defiende el derecho a explorar todas las fantasías humanas. Publicado inicialmente de forma casi clandestina, hoy es reconocido como una obra de culto y una lectura imprescindible.

Book of the Die

Unas pintorescas criaturas han llegado a la Tierra desde los confines del universo: son esféricas, son peludas, son listísimas y quieren divertirse. Vienen a... jugar. Una de ellas, Louie, se instala en la casa de Billy Morton y enseguida cautiva a toda la familia con sus estrambóticas travesuras. Pero nadie podía sospechar sus verdaderas intenciones: cuando empieza a usar el ordenador doméstico para entrar en las redes del gobierno o de grandes empresas, cuando decide desactivar bombas nucleares o desplumar a los bancos y repartir millones a mansalva, advierten que la misión del simpático alienígena es poner el mundo patas arriba. El gobierno lo tiene claro: la nación ha sido invadida por unas bolas terroristas que pretenden subvertir el orden constituido. Y la nación solo juega a la guerra. Los Morton recorrerán el camino que va de la fama a la cárcel pasando por la lista donde el FBI consagra la excelencia de unos cuantos forajidos. Luke Rhinehart irrumpió en la historia de la literatura con "El hombre de los dados", un seísmo burlón que dinamitaba nuestras creencias más sólidas. Ahora, cuatro décadas después, arroja una sátira que no deja institución con cabeza. Una alegre carnicería. Las risas se clavan como dardos en la diana del poder, risas demoledoras que dejan al aire las verdades intocables y las vergüenzas del sistema. La ficción parece discurrir por un tiempo indefinido, pero los hechos la han alojado en el presente imperfecto: ¿cómo iba a imaginar el autor que el nuevo espectáculo de la política americana convertiría su fábula en una crónica de nuestra perplejidad? Pocas veces hallaremos una novela tan certera: la realidad ha asaltado sus páginas.

La invasión de las bolas peludas

Long Voyage Back

Un exitoso psiquiatra neoyorquino que comparte nombre con el narrador de esta historia entra en crisis existencial (o más bien en barrena) y comienza a poner en duda los procedimientos "científicos" que lo han convertido en una eminencia. Esa perpleja lucidez lo llevará a defender el azar como paliativo de la neurosis y los dados como antídoto contra el agobio de la libertad. Entregado a la tiranía de lo aleatorio, el médico de almas se abandona a una alegre espiral de sexo, drogas, violencia y patrañas que, paradójicamente (o no), le abre de nuevo las puertas del prestigio social: miles de chalados lo admiran con fervorosa devoción y de pronto se ve a la cabeza y a los pies de una secta descabellada. Ha fundado un culto de seis caras. Su gozo en un pozo dadaísta.

An Alternative History

Jesus Invades George

Set in the late '60s, NAKED BEFORE THE WORLD is a comic romp celebrating the follies of both hippies and the establishment. The novel follows the innocent Katya as she begins her first year abroad studying art at the Lowdong Institute on the island of Mallorca. The mountain village is populated by artists and freaks and frauds and Katya finds it hard to tell which is which. The hippy Franz seems to be everything her Catholic college warned her against, but he seems much more honest and appealing than anyone else. With many of the men (and a couple of the women) coming on to her, Katya struggles to determine who she should trust and what sort of a person she wants to be--and creates all sorts of hilarious mayhem. When the famous Spanish artist Piccolo Londo asks her to help him paint his next masterpiece--he and his assistant always working nude--she hesitates, but everyone assures her that it is a "great opportunity." Only at the end of the novel does Katya come to know who she wants to be and stand, at last, naked before the world (and before most of the village). Much of the novel was written at the same time as Luke's great classic novel THE DICE MAN and has the same crazy humor and outrageous comedy.

Naked Before the World

When the bombs came, only the lucky escaped. In the horror that followed, only the strong would survive. The voyage of the trimaran Vagabond began as a pleasure cruise on the Chesapeake Bay. Then came the War Alert...the unholy glow on the horizon...the terrifying reports of nuclear destruction. In the days that followed, it became clear just how much chaos was still to come. For Captain Neil Loken and his passengers, their shipmates were now the only family they had, the open seas their only sanctuary, their skill and courage all that might get them out alive.

The ‘bible’ for dice living – for everyone who has been inspired by the cult classic THE DICE MAN.
