in the spirit of rick harsch go and

get good books â†’

corona\samizdat is a small, non-profit literary press, inaugurated in april 2020 by rick harsch in izola, slovenia.

over the course of just 6 years rick put out close to 100 titles: high-quality pocket books and occasionally larger paperbacks by writers who he felt needed publishing.

after commandante rick’s untimely departure from this planet we shall continue his mission to infuse the public at large with subversive and stimulating reading materials.

a reopening of operations (including the online store) in november 2026 should be possible!

Filthy Synechdoche by Ben Lieberman
€10.00

I have not read it but I heard it is superb!

Gary Amdahl: Across My Big Brass Bed
€10.00

Shame on me coz I have not read that one either ….

Rick Harsch: Wandering Stone - the Streets of old Izola
€10.00

A pocket sized thick loveletter with black and white images, written by an expat (or refugee?) who created a home on the Istrian Peninsula. Must have and yes: you can read it at home, at your desk but best experienced with view of the Adriatic Sea.

The Assassination of Olof Palme, vol. 1 by Rick Harsch
€10.00

I love it so much! Comes in 2 volumes, each a pocket book for 10 bucks or combined as a BIG ONE with a cool new cover!

America and the Cult of the Cactus Boots
€30.00

This book is a diagnostic for sure and if you don’t like it just change your doctor (if your health plan allows it!).

This is the GOLD edition, celebrating 1000 copies sold.

the success of corona\samizdat is a testament to the nature of literature and something that abides in abundance in the human despite tech companies attempting to destroy our spirit by feeding books to the machine and garbage back to us. resistance is not futile: READ!
