Trade Paperback. Condition: New. First Edition. New! "Gadzooks!" is an antiquated expression of surprise, literally derived from "god's hooks," referring to the spikes used to nail G-zus to the cross. In typography, "gadzooks" refer to the embellished ligatures connecting letters. gadzooX! is an iterative collaboration between mm and dd, made in the year 2025 A.D., the result of a year-long exquisite corpse-like experiment wherein dd assembled text to prompt a drawing by mm, which then inspired the next round of text, often retroactively self-organizing itself around the resulting images, in a custom font (codiceX) that dd created for the occasion.' ~ Publisher.

WINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR TRANSLATED LITERATURE Deep in the wilds of the New World, Antonio de Erauso begins to write a letter to his aunt, the prioress of the Basque convent he escaped as a young girl. Since fleeing a dead-end life as a nun, he's become Antonio and undertaken monumental adventures: he has been a mule driver, shopkeeper, soldier, cabin boy, and conquistador; he has wielded his sword and slashed with his dagger. Now, caring for two Guaraní girls he rescued from enslavement, and hounded by the army he deserted, this protean protagonist contemplates one more metamorphosis, which just might save the new world from extinction. Based on the life of Antonio de Erauso, a real figure of the Spanish conquest, We Are Green and Trembling is a queer baroque satire and a historical novel that blends elements of the picaresque with surreal storytelling. Its rich and wildly imaginative language forms a searing criticism of conquest and colonialism, religious tyranny, and the treatment of women and indigenous people. It is a masterful subversion of Latin American history with a trans character at its center, finding in the rainforest a magical, surreal space where transformation is not only possible but necessary.

"Salmon can provide a fisherman with his finest sport, and there are few anglers who have not dreamt of catching a prime specimen of this king of fish. However, few anglers are able to fish exclusively (or perhaps at all) on the classic salmon rivers such as the Dee and the Spey. Most will rely on smaller rivers and spate streams for their sport, and these can be every bit as rewarding. Alexander Baird Keachie shows how every angler can be a successful salmon fisherman, no matter what type of water he is fishing on." A useful book centred around the idea of affordable salmon fishing. The author looks at tackle, flies and lures, how to hook, play and land the fish as well as several chapters on the salmon's life-cycle and the impossible questions of when and why they take the fly. Chapters include: Salmon salar, the fish; Why do salmon take?; When do salmon take?; Salmon lies, the comfort factor; Clothing and accessories; Fly fishing tackle, choice and preparation; Salmon flies: facts and fancies; Casting with the double-handed rod; Tackling runners and resters; Fly fishing with a floating line; Dibbling for salmon; Nymphing for salmon; The dropped-back dropper; Bombers, dollies and skated tubes; Fishing with a sinking line; Backing up; The stripped fly; Microflies; Hooking, playing and landing; Spinning tackle; Secrets of successful spinning; A fish from the Spey; A day on the Stinchar. .
