Let's Face the Music and Dance is three books in one: part contemporary love-story set in Los Angeles; part philosophical meditation on desire; and part historical romance set during the siege of Vicksburg and modeled loosely on the film Casablanca. Deftly innovative, intellectually engaging and thoroughly enjoyable, it is Chuck Rosenthal's 20th book.

Thomas Pandora is the son of Peter Pan and Wendy, but Thomas doesn't know it. They've hidden it from him, wisely or not, to protect him, and they plan to hide it from him all their lives. On the eve of Thomas Pandora's thirteenth birthday, he's visited by a mysterious fairy named Tink who tells him that Hook is back, and without Peter Pan there to protect Never Never Land, Hook will soon have it conquered and despoiled.

Fiction. Flash Fiction. A short volume of Flash Fiction noir stories in which every line has been taken from a noir movie of the '40s and '50s.

Poetry. Art. Sci-fi Studies. TOMORROW YOU'LL BE ONE OF US is a collection of poems composed entirely of dialogue from sci-fi movies of the 50s and early 60s, each poem accompanied by an apt and witty illustration. Succinct, resonant, hilarious, and space-age, this is a book that celebrates an era of filmmaking and at the same time creates something entirely new.

Literary Nonfiction. Travel Writing. WEST OF EDEN: A LIFE IN 21ST CENTURY LOS ANGELES is a bitingly funny riff on Hollywood, Malibu, Topanga Canyon, and LA. David St. John calls it "hands-down one of the funniest--and wisest--works about Los Angeles." Rosenthal skewers Scientologists, movie stars, celebrities, and himself. Evelyn McDonnell calls it "dry, absurd, and beautiful." Celeste Fremon: "Dead eye gossipy and wildly funny." Rosenthal's second book of Magic Journalism, like ARE WE NOT THERE YET?, is philosophical and hilarious.

In 1964, Chuck Rosenthal was a thirteen year old boy whose dream was to make his grade school basketball team. Never Let Me Go tells the true story of how a college professor who coached grade school basketball as a hobby became the man who held that dream in his hands; became Rosenthal's coach and his mentor; how he made Rosenthal his student, his confidant, and eventually his sexual partner, and how that teenager, trapped in the cycle of loyalty, betrayal, denial, secrecy and abuse, found the inner resources to escape and take the first steps toward adulthood.
