The Celestial Bandit, edited by Jordan A. Rothaker
The Celestial Bandit is a 175th Anniversary Tribute to Isidore Ducasse, the Comte de Lautréamont, edited by Jordan A. Rothacker.
Isidore Ducasse (1846-1870), better known by his pen name Le Comte de Lautréamont, is the most influential writer most people have never heard of. Maldoror, the first of his two works, has been described as the most evil book ever written. It has also been described as the funniest book ever written. Either way, it provides some of the most gorgeous, twisted, weird sentences in any language. An inspiration to the Surrealists, the Situationists, and to post-colonial Caribbean writers, to name a few, Lautréamont still garners a following today.
In The Celestial Bandit, editor Jordan A. Rothacker brings together twenty-four contemporary artists from music, visual arts, and the writing world to pay tribute to this unique and exciting influence. Poetry, essays, short stories, experimental texts, and a dictionary of disruptive neologisms, this anthology has it all.
All profits from the sales of The Celestial Bandit will be donated to Surfrider Foundation for their efforts to protect our oceans that Ducasse loved so much.
The Celestial Bandit includes work by a diverse range of authors and artists including: Mark Amerika, Louis Armand, Ben Arzate, duncan b. barlow, Tosh Berman, R J Dent, Douglas Doornbos, Seb Doubinsky, Steve Finbow, Stewart Home, Chris Kelso, Faisal Khan, Dylan Krieger, Callum Leckie, Chris Lloyd, Alexis Lykiard, Jennifer Macbain-Stephens, Christopher Nelms, Golnoosh Nour, David Leo Rice, Jeremy Reed, John Reed, James Reich, & Audrey Szasz.

GRAMMATRON is perhaps Mark Amerika’s most famous work of art. Exploding on to the digital art scene via the Web in early 1997, GRAMMATRON experiments with what were then emerging forms of art such as online hypertext narrative, Internet (or Net) art, and digitally expanded forms of cinema. GRAMMATRON invites the visitor to navigate through the narrative by clicking on the highlighted words while viewing the accompanying gallery of digitally animated and collage images that complement the text. The work also comes with its own WWW soundtrack featuring the vocals of Mark Amerika.

“Please...”
From “Grammatron” - a hypertext piece by Mark Amerika

If, as a writer, you buy into the idea of material possession, and you're conspicuous in your consumption, then obviously your cost of living is going to be much higher than most of us uninsured working poor folks who pray each day that we don't come down with any serious disease that will wreak havoc on us. Let me give you an example: if, because of your consumption patterns and lack of trust-fund support, you find yourself having to bring in $40,000 a year just to get by and, on top of that, you want to live by the dictum "THIS IS ALL I DO NOW," then you're going to have to spend an incredible amount of time cranking out saleable product to even have a chance to survive. The "success" of your book will be even more important since you'll have to sell that many more copies in order to bring home the necessary royalty payments to help foot the bills. If, on the other hand, as a writer, you try to find ways to minimize your expenditures and devote your life-project to the nurturing of the creative self (which is neither creative or a self, discuss among yourselves ), you'll find that hacking isn't necessary and that with the democratization of the means of distribution becoming more of an electronic reality each passing day, you can begin to get not only your work out into the public eye but the work of others you admire and feel a kinship with (imagine that! helping other writers! what a concept!). The commercial captains of consciousness will have a shit-coniption over that last one, because competition is stiff in the world of Simon and Shoestore, but that's where it's going and Simple Simon, if he doesn't watch out, is going to be left behind (if the shoe fits, wear it).
