The stage for An Everlasting Bond: The Story of a Father and His Son fluctuates between a community and a prison setting, between a father who is a therapist (Licensed Professional Counselor) and a former Parole Commissioner for the State of Texas and his son, Rolando, who is a three-time felon and an inmate in the Texas Prison System. The father-son bond which has been established between the father and Rolando during the three different times Rolando has been incarcerated in the Texas Prison System, in addition to his addiction to drugs are major elements of this story. This powerful and highly emotional narrative explores many of the elements of the son's drug addiction, which serve in destroying the family fabric. The numerous incidents and characteristics typical of drug addiction and the difficulties which the addict and his family suffer are also revealed. An Everlasting Bond: The Story of a Father and His Son also focuses on the emotional repercussions of Rolando's drug addiction and what his father, as an experienced mental health professional, feels leads to his son's drug addiction. The impact on the emotional, financial, and family resources, which this deplorable and devastating disease generates are discussed in detail. In addition, the everlasting bond established between Rolando and his father as a result of this long and arduous journey comprising of 43 detention facility incarcerations in different jails and prisons throughout the state of Texas are also a focal point of this narrative.

Using the “anti-oedipal” insights of Deleuze and Guattari’s classic work on capitalism and schizophrenia, Perez argues for “anti-fascist strategies in everyday life.” This book is a first step in applying schizoanalytic theories to concrete social issues like feminism, the family, madness, desire, advertising, sexuality, subcultures, and—structure of all structures—capitalism itself. This is not a book about the joys of linguistic masturbation à la Derrida, Barthes, de Man, etc., but of issues of everyday life: how we interact with others, how we oppress others—mostly, how we oppress ourselves.

Severo Sarduy never enjoyed the same level of notoriety as did other Latin American writers. On the other hand, he never lacked for excellent critical interpretations of his work from critics like Roberto GonzÃ¡lez EchevarrÃa, RenÃ© Prieto, Gustavo Guerrero, and other reputable scholars. Missing, however, from what is otherwise an impressive body of critical commentary, is a study of the importance of painting and architecture, first, to his theory, and second, to his creative work. In order to fill this lacuna in Sarduy studies, Rolando PÃ©rez's book undertakes a critical approach to Sarduy's essays”Barroco, Escrito sobre un cuerpo, Barroco y neobarroco, and La simulaciÃ³n”from the stand point of art history. In short, no book on Sarduy until now has traced the multifaceted art historical background that informed the work of this challenging and exciting writer. It will be a book that many a critic of Sarduy and the Latin American baroque will consult in years to come.

Cultural Writing. This unique work unites prose and art, exploring the dark mythologies of sexual fetishes and power. Based on the erotic drawings and etchings of Polish writer and artist Bruno Schulz, who died at the hands of the Nazis in 1942. Rolando Perez digs around in that rooted turf Schulz describes; he grows his own books in that fecund loam of literature and history, dreams and ideas. His writing is often inspired by or a response to his reading, which is wide and deep --John Strausbaugh, NY Press.

Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies.

THE LINING OF OUR SOULS features short prose pieces inspired by the paintings of Edward Hopper. "Roland Perez's remarkable transpositions of art open the reader to a Hopper-inspired universe. His vignettes center on the big city and its inhabitants: apartment houses and hotels-their front desks, their windows with half-lowered shades; on to the shift and flow of small town life, with its mountains and sounds of the sea..Perez has superbly captured the physicality of Hopper's paintings in all of their hermeticism and brashness."-Bettina L. Knapp. Rolando Perez was born in Cuba and now works as a librarian at Hunter College in New York City. His book THE DIVINE DUTY OF SERVANTS is also available from SPD.
