Pete, the Photographer & Other Impressions (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798218678715)

In Pete, the Photographer, Marvin Cohen pays tribute to Henri Michaux's hallucinatory travelogues. This weird and disturbing novella, part picaresque, part surreal, follows the path of the half-blind Pete from birth to exile and further exile, battling sentient towers and the sea itself, armed only with his trusty camera.

The other pieces in this collection are similarly idiosyncratic and thought-provoking: from the frenzy of a perpetual-motion basketball player to the celebrity of a living statue; from the speculations of a would-be intergalactic taxi driver to the ambitions of a mobster in heaven. And there is even a dialogue that tries to discourse on everything!
