- About Me
- Dissident Books is an independent publisher located in New York City. Its goal is to offer works that challenge, provoke and shock.
Its first title, "Notes on Democracy: A New Edition" debuts October 2008. It includes all of the orignial book by H. L. Mencken, as well as an introduction and annotations by Marion Elizabeth Rodgers and an introduction by two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Anthony Lewis. "Notes" is a funny, cynical, and lethal attack on that Holiest of Holies: democracy.
In April 2009 Dissident Books will release "Don't Call Me a Crook! A Scotsman's Tale of World Travel, Whisky and Crime" by Bob Moore, with an afterword by Booker-Prize winning novelist James Kelman. "Don't Call Me" is one man's epic account of life on the sea, exotic places, and drunkenness. - Location
