Originally banned in Paris and published by the Olympia Press under the pseudonym Maxwell Kenton, Candy is the scandalous 1958 novel cowritten by Terry Southern and Mason Hoffenberg, now reissued with an introduction by B. J. Novak. Candy was greeted in America by white-hot controversy, becoming a bestseller and helping to cement Southern's reputation as a legendary absurdist comic. The book centers on the sexual misadventures of a young girl named Candy Christian--lithe, taut, impossibly sweet, and as naive as she is irresistible. Chronicling her liaisons with everyone from her father's gardener, a pretentious professor, a shrink, a guru, and even her own uncle, Candy follows this luscious all-American girl as she breaks away from her small-town life and sets out to experience the world. Through it all, Candy is exploited, ravaged, and used--and eager as ever to please. A satire of Voltaire's Candide, Candy is an exhilarating romp through the fantasies and perversions of the American male and a fearless portrait of corrupted innocence in a society obsessed with narcissism, power, and commerciality. A hilarious and sexy fable, Candy is a countercultural tour de force.

This award-winning memoir about "the hippest guy on the planet" recollects novelist/screenwriter Terry Southern's highs and lows, his association with the Beat Generation, and his movie cult classics Dr. Strangelove and Easy Rider. In 1964, Terry Southern met actress Gail Gerber on the set of The Loved One. He was enjoying his success from co-writing the risque novel Candy, a satire of Candide, and the movie Dr. Strangelove; she had just co-starred with Elvis Presley in Girl Happy. Though they were both married, there was an instant connection and they remained a couple until his death 30 years later. In her memoir, Gail recalls what life was like with "the hippest guy on the planet." It documents their life together and contains numerous photographs of Terry and Gail with friends both famous and notorious. The wickedly gifted satirist, who had a stint writing for Saturday Night Live, kept company with the likes of Lenny Bruce, Dennis Hopper, Ringo Starr, William Burroughs, George Segal, Harry Nilsson, George Plimpton, David Amram and Rip Torn. It also reveals what went on behind the scenes of Gail's movies (including The Girls on the Beach and Village of the Giants), and Terry's movies (including The Cincinnati Kid, Casino Royale, Barbarella, The Magic Christian, End of the Road, and Easy Rider).

As the novelist of Flash and Filigree and The Magic Christian and cowriter of Dr. Strangelove and Easy Rider, Terry Southern helped define the sixties. Now, sixty years later, his dark humor and biting satire of American society and all its corruption, sex, money, status, power, and stardom, takes on new relevance. When Dwight Garner reviewed the anniversary edition of Southern's Candy in the New York Times he pointed to its significance in today's political climate, stating that "Candy works in the era of #MeToo in part because it so coyly subverts the male gaze. The men who leer after Candy are truly fatuous primates, fit for little but gibbering at the moon." In this 60th anniversary edition of The Magic Christian, we have another searing Southern comic novel--this one a story of a mayhem-making billionaire, and a reminder of just how entrenched American greed and corruption is in our history. Sir Guy Grand is determined to create disorder in the material world and willing to spare no expense to do it. His ultimate goal is to prove his theory that there is nothing so degrading or so distasteful that someone won't do for money. A satire of America's obsession with bigness, toughness, TV, guns, and money, The Magic Christian is a hilarious and wickedly original novel from a true comic genius.
Blue Movie: 50th Anniversary Edition

Displaced to Liechtenstein (which, in order to boost tourism, has negotiated the exclusive rights to show the film for ten years) and fueled by suspiciously rejuvenating vitamin B-12 injections, the set of The Faces of Love is fraught with monstrous egos and enormous libidos -- the kind of situation that could only come from the imagination of the irrepressible Terry Southern.

An Experience That Lasted a Lifetime: Stories about the Southern California Youth Chorale
In the 60s and 70s, the Vietnam War and the Cold War raged on and it seemed like the world could come to an end at any time. The teenagers of the day had decided to tune in, turn on and drop out with drugs and the counter culture. K. Gene Simmonds, a high school music teacher, had a hard time trying to make his students care about the rest of the world, preferring to stay snug in their own little corner of the state. But he was determined that he could make a difference in some lives if he could open their minds to the wonders of travel.Gene started the Southern California Youth Chorale in 1965, at the height of the hippie zeitgeist. He had incredibly high standards and would only accept the best and the brightest, molding his Honor Choir into a group that could not only bring Americana music to other countries but, also, expose his students to learning about other languages and cultures as well. Some of Gene's colleagues thought traveling overseas with teenagers was madness, but he knew, if he picked the right ones with positive attitudes, ready to challenge themselves and open to exploring the unknown, they would work together toward the goal of professional musical excellence. Over the years, the Southern California Youth Chorale traveled to 27 different countries on four continents over a twelve-year period. Some countries were visited multiple times and some, like the Republic of China, Taiwan, East Berlin and Russia, were the realization of an almost impossible dream.Extensive plane flights, long bus rides, sampling new cuisines, performing and living together, buying souvenirs, visiting museums and attending cultural performances formed the group into its own type of unique family that keeps many of them reuniting to this day.What was it like to have someone to encourage you beyond your expectations? What opportunities were opened up and what is life like in the present day looking back on that time? Lives were enriched, confidences built, friendships and relationships sealed and memories cherished that have lasted a lifetime. This book tells the stories of these youthful, singing, ambassadors and shows how their lives have changed.
