29 Jobs and a Million Lies

Dark, twisted, and outrageous, 29 Jobs and a Million Lies is not the story of your all-American girl seeking glory and success, but a glimpse at counterculture’s underbelly and attempts to succeed within that world. From demented B-movie, roach-infested film production offices chock full of freakish characters to the Cannes Film Festival; from starting a punk rock record label to its hard but inevitable crash; from a grimy, Greenwich Village restaurant kitchen to failed attempts at joining the Navy, you gotta ask, What’s a nice girl from the suburbs doing all of this dirty work for, anyway?

29 Jobs and a Million Lies is the gut-wrenching, self-deprecating account of how ambition to stand out was wiped out by clumsy choices, immaturity and self-defeating righteousness. Energized to prove to the doubters that she could succeed despite the unorthodox approach, this litany of boneheaded decisions portrays how the author painfully hurled heart and soul into a long trail of draining pursuits, failing so often that success was invisible. 29 Jobs is a post-GenX novel, except it’s true, and in the vein of Sarah Vowell, Chuck Klosterman, and Dave Eggers.

Beyond Religion Volume I

Always discerning, often humorous, as often ‘deep’, Kapuscinski offers us his reflections on the Nature of Being. To explain his Perception of Reality, the author delves into ancient scriptures, as well as into the latest scientific discoveries.

INHOUSEPRESS presents the first of three volumes of Essays.  Each volume includes 52 essays by Stanislaw Kapuscinski, architect, sculptor and prolific writer, who demonstrates his unique perspective on subjects as diverse as The Last Things, Phenomenology, Life, Power, Body and Soul, Freedom, Duality, Pleasure, Prayers, Traditions, Myth and Reality, Sex, Salvation, and many others. This collection helped the author to develop his philosophy, which hence manifests itself in his many novels. Seven of his novels written under the pen-name Stan I.S. Law, are available on Amazon.com and most major online distributors.
