PERMANENT OBSCURITY: Or a Cautionary Tale of Two Girls
and Their Misadventures with Drugs, Pornography and Death by Dolores Santana
(as told to Richard Perez)

* A youthful bohemian satire,
* a story of alienated nonconformists,
* a “girls on the lam” story,
* a sexploitation and S/M romp,
* a spoof of cult celebrity and “true-life” tabloid
sensationalism:

PERMANENT OBSCURITY

Inspired by the underground sexploitation films of the 1960s, this bold updating of the “roughie” subgenre and lampoon of auteur filmmaking largely takes place in New York City’s East Village (circa the Bush era), and it chronicles the rise and fall of a unique and intense relationship. Dolores and Serena, two chemically dependent, down-and-out artists set out to take control of their lives by making a fetish-noir/femdom movie. Of course, things don’t exactly turn out as planned.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Initially published small literary magazines, Richard Perez’s first novel, The Losers’ Club (aka: The Losers’ Club: Complete Restored Edition) was a small press success, with three foreign translations to date: Korean, Turkish, Italian. PERMANENT OBSCURITY: or a Cautionary Tale of Two Girls and Their Misadventures with Drugs, Pornography, and Death — his second novel — also reflects his infatuation with bohemia and willful nonconformists.
