This book leaves few institutions, few facets of the capitalist system unburned. Disparate and desperate are the voices who take to the pages of Bacchus Against the Wall. We live through a working-class youth, police brutality, war, and life on the road to rebellion. As well as the search for solidarity among the few genuinely trying to change things.
Includes the extended, never before published, Bacchus Against the Wall -or- the orgy you know damn well's coming. All those silenced and suffering under the current system come together, for a transgressive fiesta - fighting violence with pleasure, oppression with liberation, hypocrisy and corruption with some decent exposure.
If you're about ready to stand up and start fighting for a better world, this book could be the straw that cracks your back.
Praise for Bacchus Against the Wall Forget about holding back, because Duffield sure as hell doesn't. His language is raw, unfiltered, and as honest as a drunk confession at 3 a.m. He captures the essence of Bacchus, that rebellious spirit that demands you break free from the chains that bind you.- Owen Grey, author of Puking Up Rednecks Duffield's words don't tiptoe around polite society; they kick it square in the balls and laugh about it. This chapbook is a wild ride, an invitation to embrace your inner Bacchus and unleash the chaos within.
- Sophia Jameson, author of Keep the Fat Side Down
