"Lively, fast-flowing.... the voiciest translation of the novel thus far. [Katz] writes at the fever pitch of speech, unleashing the speed and the chaos of the original." —Jennifer Wilson, The New Yorker A monumental new translation—the first in more than twenty years—of Russia’s greatest family drama, rendered with all the passion, humor, and soul of the original. Dostoevsky’s final, greatest novel, The Brothers Karamazov, paints a complex and richly detailed portrait of a family tormented by its extraordinarily cruel patriarch, Fyodor Pavlovich, whose callous decisions slowly decimate the lives of his sons—the eponymous brothers Karamazov—and lead to his violent murder. In the aftermath of the killing, the brothers contend with dilemmas of honor, faith, and reason as the community closes in on the murderer in their midst. Acclaimed translator Michael R. Katz renders this masterpiece’s nuanced and evocative storytelling in a vibrant, signature prose style that captures all the power of Dostoevsky’s original—the clever humor, the rich emotion, the passion and the turmoil—and that will captivate and unsettle a new generation of readers.

A collection of misanthro-poetry and pictures for the photophile: Photograpic images impressed upon flesh; expressed in excess. This is the postulating opus that has scraped the caves of my skull since my conception. Share in the revelry of the hereafter - the post-revelation. You, gentle patron, hold in your hand a gasoline pump, it's nozzle pointed at the shit stains of the world; the unwashable tumors that beg to be burned out. The trigger moans like a glistening mistress of the night begging to be pulled. Take a trip to the Slob House and make love to the Scarlet Whore. Blind fold dance with the Mosquito Man and consider your little white dream. Be the Malignant Identity that scratches these words on the wall and inhales the pungent L.A. In-Sense. Read this, and you will have broken the astral cord that strangles you. Transcendence is here. "Garrity's the kind of poet who doesn't shy away from any vehicle vs. pedestrian that crosses his line of sight, and won't let us either. Or from the many varied and not-so-subtle casualties of life, love, slip-and-falls-on-our-swords, but always keeps it moving, and us invested. A strong vocabulary, and even stronger emotional constitution are required (and rewarded) here with his new collection: "Excuse All The Blood." A number of his own priddy pitchers are here too, quick lil' eye-bites the pain and marginalized that most folks somehow seem to miss... but shouldn't."--Regent St. Claire, The Good Intentions Paving Co.

While it is a natural thing to give excuses, this book will be arguing that giving excuses is not good enough. The reason is, that each time excuses come up it is an indication of the possibility to provide solutions. While these opportunities may be hidden in pain, injustices, discrimination, and hatred, it takes seeing beyond excuses to come up with solutions. The way to become significant and make an impact is by providing solutions. But you will never rise to the occasion if all you do is give excuses. You will remain stuck where you are if you keep giving “good excuses.” The bitter truth is that no matter how good you think your excuses are, the only thing they are doing for you is keeping you stuck in your present predicament.
