THE DUD AVOCADO gained instant cult status on first publication and remains a timeless portrait of a woman hellbent on living. It is, as the GUARDIAN observes, ‘one of the best novels about growing up fast’. Sally Jay Gorce is a woman with a mission. It’s the 1950s, she’s young, and she’s in Paris. Having dyed her hair pink, she wears evening dresses in the daytime and vows to go native in a way not even the natives can manage. Embarking on an educational programme that includes an affair with a married man (which fizzles out when she realises he’s single and wants to marry her); nights in cabarets and jazz clubs in the company of assorted “citizens of the world” an entanglement with a charming psychopath; and a bit part in a film financed by a famous matador. But an education like this doesn’t come cheap. Will our heroine be forced back to the States to fulfill her destiny as a librarian, or can she keep up her whirlwind Parisian existence?

This is an irreverent guide to living life like the Dude, the main character from the movie “The Big Lebowski”, featuring lifestyle tips on how to be more laid back, inspirational lessons from the Dude, and hilarious facts about the movie. A commercial flop in its initial release in 1998, “The Big Lebowski” has since emerged as a cult phenomenon complete with an annual fan festival, midnight film screenings, and even its own religion. Now the founder of the Church of the Latter-Day Dude has brought together his own prophetic insights along with the advice of his top disciples to show readers how they, too, can lead a more relaxed, laid-back life based on the ways of Jefferey The Dude Lebowski. “The Abide Guide” is a self-help resource that believes “The Big Lebowski” is more than just a film; it’s a way of life. Packed full of tips, investigations, and far-out facts related to the movie, “The Abide Guide” holds the answers to all life’s questions.At once funny and profound, like the classic film itself, the book shows the easiest way to be Dude-like in a chaotic world; and includes moral and inspirational life lessons from key scenes in the film, the seven habits of highly lazy yet totally successful Dudes, and great Dudes from history who changed the world without trying.
