  • Trying to Fool Death
    Marvin Cohen
    Trying to Fool Death comprises verse and dialogues drawn from Marvin Cohen’s almost daily emails to a group of friends.

  • Booboo Roi
    Marvin Cohen
    Marvin Cohen writes of Booboo Roi, his playfully anti-theatrical adaptation of Alfred Jarry’s Ubu Roi: 'In the 1970s or 1980s I read Barbara Wright’s Ubu translation, which inspired me with its sheer royal barbarity of being brutal and decisive to any opposition: pure powerful selfishness. I wrote this play as a compensation for being poor, more than half deaf, and growing up i...

  • Conversations and Versifications
    Marvin Cohen
    The author James Sallis said Marvin Cohen’s first book 'The Self-Devoted Friend (1967) is a collection of short pieces [which] are variously narrative, dialogue, essay, epigram-some are surreal, some are pastiche and parody, some are reminiscent of Baudelaire’s Petits Poèmes en Prose. Ellipsis is the predominant quality: the reader is asked to accept this material, this disparat...

The philanderer at the heart of the novel is hopelessly, effortlessly, universally, even fatally attractive to women. His oversized invulnerability is both monstrous and very rec...

    Marvin Cohen
    'Cohen is a superfan, and he has written an intellectual manual for his co-religionists. They know who they are and they will cherish this manual.
