\n\u201cDeuxmers is pleased to have widely published and acclaimed author Lee Siegel as one of its authors, which represents a consequential achievement in expansion of our portfolio,\u201d said Omer Kursat, the managing editor of Deuxmers Publishing.<\/p>\n
\u201cTyperotica\u201d (ISBN 978-1944521097) is a hilariously comedic and poignantly nostalgic portrait of an aspiring artist as a young man. Consisting of the typed manuscripts of two love stories, it illustrates an analogy: typing was once to literature what sex is to love. As a fifteen-year old, Lee Siegel is dazzled by a then contraband copy of Henry Miller\u2019s \u201cTropic of Cancer,\u201d and decides that he must become a writer. He imagines that in order to do that he needs to learn how to type and then go to Paris to drink French wine, smoke French cigarettes, and have sex with French women. \u201cTyperotica\u201d chronicles Siegel\u2019s enrollment in a typing class, his subsequent amorous and literary adventures in Paris, and eventually his friendship with Henry Miller<\/a>.<\/p>\n If we are to believe Lee Siegel, the author of \u201cHorseplay\u201d (ISBN 978-1944521103) is actually a horse, yes, a talking horse named Gulliver. According to Siegel, \u201cGulliver dictated the series of twelve stories that are sublimely romantic and yet bawdily down to earth, occasionally melancholy but fundamentally hilarious. Horseplay is indisputably one of the greatest books ever composed by a horse.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201c\u2019Ravens, Nights\u2019 (ISBN 978-1944521073) – from tranquil pastorales to coarsely hewn cityscapes, erotic ruminations, grandiose reveries, and reimagined haiku to pictographic poesy\u2014is a unique collection that represents an informed homage to the modern canon while staking new territory within the noumenon of twenty-first-century culture,\u201d said Mr. Shaindlin.<\/p>\n Frank Stewart, in his review of \u201cRavens, Nights\u201d stated, \u201cHere is lyric poetry that testifies to the gratitude we must ultimately feel for being alive. Gratitude for forests, seas, stars, gardens, houses, cathedrals, bus stops, and trains\u2014in spite of\u2014and perhaps because of\u2014the world\u2019s brevity and ours.\u201d<\/p>\n About Lee Siegel<\/strong><\/p>\n Lee Siegel, Emeritus Professor of Religion at the University of Hawaii, has published eight novels, four non-fiction books, and a translation of Sanskrit love poetry.
