Born in Sheffield, James studied illustration at Wolverhampton University after a childhood of sketching and painting. He worked for years as an in-house illustrator for greeting card publishers like Hallmark, creating both branded and original work. This helped him master various styles and media. Though much of his work is now digital, he still enjoys sketching line-art and painting by hand.

Hardback. Etat : Like New. Newman Gray, James (illustrateur). In the remote mountains of Oaxaca, the Beatniks have arrived. Mar a Sabina, the renowned Mazatec healer, spends her days in the small town of Huautla de Jim nez selling produce at the market and foraging under the new moon for the sacred mushrooms that grow near her home--her holy children, Carne de Dios, or Flesh of the Gods. But her life changes forever when an amateur mycologist from New York, with a cameraman in tow, visits her to experience for himself the mushroom ceremony, or velada, he knows only from whispers in anthropological records. When he publishes an unauthorized article about his experience in LIFE Magazine 1957, the stage is set for an explosive encounter between the burgeoning international counterculture and the woman who became an unwilling icon of the psychedelic revolution. Homero Aridjis's novel, vividly translated by Chloe Garcia Roberts, tells the story of the motley crew of bohemians, researchers, and holy fools, both real and imagined, who descend on the town of Huautla de Jim nez searching for inspiration, distraction, and salvation in the sacred mushrooms. These seekers melt in and out of a narrative infiltrated by the slipstream logic of dreams. As John Lennon plays jazz on the patio of the Hotel Grande, Juan Rulfo contemplates horror movies, and Allen Ginsberg recites mantras at Philip Lamantia's wedding, Mar a Sabina's life is increasingly thrown into turmoil. Carne de Dios is a masterful and often humorous blend of history, myth, and poetic imagination, captured in a translation that mirrors the hallucinatory beauty of Aridjis's original Spanish. Aridjis's intimate portrayal of Mar a Sabina, informed by his personal connection to her, serves as both a tribute to her enduring legacy and a critical reflection on the wave of global interest in mushroom culture still gaining momentum today. This English translation includes an introduction by the translator and an afterword by the author. N° de réf. du vendeur 00096182570
