Religion Restless Books | Albina And The Dog Men

From The Psychomagical Guru Who Brought You The Holy Mountain And Where The Bird Sings Best Comes A Supernatural Love-And-Horror Story In Which A Beautiful Albino Giantess Unleashes The Slavering Animal Lurking Inside The Men Of A Chilean Village.

A Darkly Funny, Surreal Novel Set In Chile And Peru, Albina And The Dog-Men Is Alejandro Jodorowsky’S Sprawling Modern Myth In Which Sexual Desire Appears As A Dangerous And Generative Force That Mutates And Transforms, Unraveling Identities And Rending The Social And Moral Fabric Of A Small Town.

Written With The Stunning Vision And Cinematic Flair He Brought To His Cult 1970S Psychedelic Freak-Out Films El Topo And The Holy Mountain, Jodorowsky Turns The Classic Stranger-Comes-To-Town Narrative On Its Head In His Novel Albina And The Dog-Men. When Two Women—A Beautiful Amnesiac Albino Giantess And Her Protector, A Leather-Tough Woman Called Crabby—Arrive In This South American Desert Town, Albina’S Otherworldly Allure And Unfettered Sensuality Turns Men Into Wild Animals. Chased At The Same Time By A Clubfoot Criminal, Albina And Crabby Must Fend Off Their Aggressors Before The Town Consumes Itself In An Orgy Of Lust And Violence.

A Modern-Day Kafka Story On Hallucinogens, With Strong Doses Of Mysticism And Horror, Albina And The Dog-Men Reads Like An Ancient Folk Tale Whispered At Night, Fused With An Urgent Critique Of Contemporary Society And Gender Relations. Woven Through A Jodorowskian Fabric Of Killer Bees, Enchanted Parrots, Witches, Prostitutes, Midgets, Omnisexual Couplings And Men Gone Canine Is A Universal Story Of Love Against The Odds And The Things That Make Us Human.
