LUKE’S BOOKS

• Luke’s books explore self and illusion, and

freedom and chance. He has dealt

particularly with the ways in which modern

western societies limit the spontaneity and

creativity of most humans. He sees reason

and seriousness as a form of mental

illness, a madness that seems to be

sweeping humankind towards a

civilizational and ecological disaster. And

makes it all seem funny as hell.

Dice Man, written more than thirty years ago,

has undergone a miraculous rebirth in the

republished in nineteen countries and is now

selling more copies throughout the world
