Oscar Slamp

Author. Confessor. Unreliable Raconteur.

What is this whole strange project about? I’m glad you asked.

The book, the sequel, the films, the radio show, the shirts and stories — it’s what forty years spent living on the periphery, chasing a kind of gonzo-poetic autonomy looks like. Most people would call it far-fetched. They’re not wrong.

But the margins are the only home I know now. The noise became music. The story just kept unfolding. I couldn’t turn back now if I tried, and there’s no “back” to turn to anyway. The raft is already afloat, and the gods have cast me far beyond the fault line.

If you can still hear this, the signal’s still good, and I’m glad you decided to float along with me awhile.

The book they say you can’t put down!

The Unauthorized Manuscript:
The Mostly True Tale of Getting Roofied in Tokyo and Waking Up Married in Rural Thailand…
Because some stories you survive just long enough to write down… 

  ~ Another interesting project from Black Mountain Press, a company like no other. Our US office is hidden among the outlaws, outcasts, and drifters in the hills beneath Black Mountain, in the eccentric, eclectic, exceptional town of Cave Creek, Arizona. When we’re not in Arizona you’ll find us near our Southeast Asia office, wandering around remote night markets or forest temples, deep in the border provinces of Thailand, where Laos and Cambodia meet. Willie is in charge of the Thai office, Oscar runs the office in Arizona — or maybe it’s the other way around. Either way, drop us a line. We’ll get back to you eventually.
