Fall-2105

9 Gilbert Greenbush leads a comfortable, if unexamined life in greater Boston, until he receives a shrunken head as a gift. Leeram, the head, has the personality of a New York cabbie and the two become the oddest couple ever to share space under a roof. Enter a real Amazon woman, Suxie Redbone and her beautiful young friend Lisa, both of whom Gilbert ﬁrst sees in a naked PETA anti-fur protest. An unpredictable series of events ensues that leads them to the Brazilian rain forest and an abandoned rubber plantation called Fordlandia. They establish a strange kibbutz, where Gilbert learns much about life after death from Leeram. “Buell Hollister reveals his journey with an irascible shrunken head in this gripping and funny tale as jaw dropping as Rudyard Kipling and as irreverent as Mark Twain.” - Al Gowan, author of Fort Momma, Zamora’s Tattoo and Santiago Rag Leeram in Fordlandia Buell Hollister Fiction 378 pages Paperback, perfect bound, white paper gloss cover, b & w, 5.5 x 8.5 $18.99 ISBN: 978-1-939166-59-3 Available January 2015 HUM000000 HUMOR / General Buell Hollister has been a newspaper journalist, writer for several boating and general interest periodicals, freelance editor, short story writer, and has had poetry published in Tufts University literary magazines.
