WHIM tells the story of a very special Indian boy who has been sent to earth by his Father, Lord Chance, to find Ultimate Truth. Trying to pursue U.T. when you're a high school football star just discovering sex and love, and when you're one of the last members of an Indian tribe that tries to keep itself invisible from humans, proves to be disastrous. Whim is particularly distracted from his quest by his love for the brainy, sexy, but very moral Dawn. It's only when his Montauk mentor Grain-of-Sand tells him he must find U.T. to save the Montauk nation that Whim finally gets moving. Ater Zen-like encounters with Grain-of-Sand, with Narsufin, a great black Sufi Sage famous for his hook shot, and with the Abominable Snowman Sage of the Himilayas, Whim finally manages to find U.T., save the Montauk Nation, and win the heart and all other bodily parts of his beloved Dawn.

The author of the cult classic The Dice Man returns with a provocative guide to "dice living" filled with anecdotes, essays, plays, and much more that calls for making life-changing decisions based on the roll of the dice. Reprint.

The book takes Luke's style to its logical conclusion, as the entire book is made up of sections taken from other, fictional books. The preface to the book claims that it was written in Deya, Majorca, in 2326. According to the book, an entire industry has grown up publishing books about a Montauk named Wim - including The Gospel According to Luke (Luke Forth, not Luke Rhinehart) and the screenplay of a movie. The screenplay is possibly in there as a result of Luke Rhinehart's continuing frustration in trying to get The Dice Man turned into a good movie. Adventures of Wim, then, is an effort to create a new interpretation of the story of Wim, drawing on the many previous efforts, and so providing a multi-faceted and whimsical account of 'one of the greatest figures in the 20th and 21st Century'.A boy is born of a virgin mother and is named "Wim" (in Adventures of Wim) or "Whim" (in The Book of the Die and Whim): Montauk for "Wave Rider". He is pronounced to be the saviour of the Montauk nation by his tribe's navigator, and educated in their ways. Sadly, the humans steal him away and attempt to educate him in more useful skills, such as American Football. Wim, also known as "He of Many Chances", proves to be an inefficient saviour, as God sends him on a quest for Ultimate Truth. This does not seem to be something that will benefit his tribe terribly, but the navigator isn't one to stare down the barrel of a lightning gun, and sends him on his way. After a long and arduous search, Wim finds ultimate truth (in a potato), and with it the cure for the sickness of the human condition.

Set in the late'60s, NAKED BEFORE THE WORLD is a comic romp celebrating the follies of bothhippies and the establishment. The novel follows the innocent Katya as shebegins her first year abroad studying art at the Lowdong Institute on the island of Mallorca. The mountain village ispopulated by artists and freaks and frauds and Katya finds it hard to tellwhich is which. The hippy Franz seems to be everything her Catholic collegewarned her against, but he seems much more honest and appealing than anyoneelse. With many of the men (and a couple of the women) coming on to her, Katyastruggles to determine who she should trust and what sort of a person she wantsto be--and creates all sorts of hilarious mayhem. When the famous Spanishartist Piccolo Londo asks her to help him paint his next masterpiece--he andhis assistant always working nude--she hesitates, but everyone assures her thatit is a "great opportunity." Only at the end of the novel doesKatya come to know who she wants to be and stand, at last, naked before theworld (and before most of the village). Much of the novel was written at thesame time as Luke's great classic novel THE DICE MAN and has the same crazyhumor and outrageous comedy.

Thus begins the most dramatic and moving of Luke Rhinehart’s books. He has woven an exciting story of three samurai and the beautiful woman they each love, trapped by their very virtues into deadly conflict. Oboko is the poet of the wind, a peace-loving student of Zen; Izzi, the lusty, life-loving court poet on his way to serve the great Lord Arishi, a proud samurai who has vowed to kill Matari, who he believes has been unfaithful. When Lord Arishi’s samurai pursue them, Oboko, Izzi and Matari each must choose, with each of their lives in the balance.

JESUS INVADES GEORGE is a grand satirical vision that employs the same comic voice as The Dice Man to answer the simple question: What would have happened if George Bush had awakened one morning in early 2007 and found he'd become possessed by Jesus? The answer is plenty. When Jesus forces George to start talking about withdrawing all American forces from the Middle East, the men who have made George desperately begin plotting to stop him. In this hilarious history you will also learn: Why Karl believed that his Policy of Eternal War would mean Republican governments 'til death do us part. How George, in Sadr City with only a single body guard, survived many assassination attempts, only to be nearly done in by a pizza. What happened when Jesus and George made love to Laura. How George, in the Holy Land, almost walked on water. What happened when Laura hired the world's foremost exorcist to rid George of the Terrible Spirit possessing him. How Hillary and Barack suddenly found they were to the right of George on just about every issue and didn't know how to deal with it. And finally, what happened when Dick and Don rallied the establishment to save the nation from the Christian terrorist George. And how the 2008 election turned out and the world lived happily ever after. Or not.
