AS GOOD AS IT GETS




















All through the interminable preparation for this book I tried to avoid the inevitable contemplation of the hideous reality that this was my life. I was gathering together some of the best surviving stuff that I had ever written, goddamn it. This was my fucking life. This was it. Life. This was all there was. The blurb reads…

“The definitive collection of Mick Farren’s prose, over four hundred pages of some of the best writing the counterculture has ever produced, carefully selected and extensively annotated by Mick Farren himself, with superb line-art illustrations by Michael Robinson, a foreword by CHARLES SHAAR MURRAY, a preface by FELIX DENNIS, plus encounters with JOHNNY CASH, FRANK ZAPPA, CHUCK BERRY, GORE VIDAL and PETE TOWNSHEND, among others. Over four decades of Farren’s very best interviews and polemics.” 


Right now you can buy the deluxe paperback. The much cheaper paperback will be out in the spring.

The secret word is History

BUT LET'S NOT FORGET




















This fine, fine, novelette is also still very much on sale – except Amazon seem to be having trouble grasping the reality of this. The publishers assure me that this will soon be fixed, which is crucial for buyers in the UK. In the mean time you can contact Penny Ante by clicking here.
