Derek Pell is a writer, visual artist, and photographer--the author of over 40 books, including works of experimental fiction, humor, satire, art and nonfiction. In 1989, under the pseudonym Norman Conquest, he founded an international anti-censorship art collective, Beuyscouts of Amerika. He has produced many works of mixed media, collage, book-objects, mail art, and multiple editions--several of which are part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in NYC. In 2012 he founded Black Scat Books (BlackScatBooks.com), a small press devoted to absurdist humor, experimental fiction, works in translation, and avant-garde art. He lives in northern California with his wife and two large dogs.-- Selected Books by Derek Pell --- fiction -NAKED LUNCH AT TIFFANY'S (JEF Books)ASSASSINATION RHAPSODY (Semiotext[e]: Foreign Agents Series)SCAR MIRROR (Cat's Pajamas Press)MORBID CURIOSITIES (Random House / Jonathan Cape: London)DOKTOR BEY'S SUICIDE GUIDEBOOK (Dodd, Mead & Co. / reprint: Black Scat Books)LOST IN TRANSLATION (Obscure Publications)BEWILDERING BEASTIES (Dover Publications)TRUE TINY TALES OF TERROR.
