Celestial Bandit, The

A Tribute to Isidore Ducasse, the Comte de Lautréamont. Edited by Jordan A. Rothacker

Isidore Ducasse (1846-1870), better known by his pen name 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. Either way, it provides some of the most gorgeous, twisted, and weird sentences in any language. An inspiration to the Surrealists, post-colonial Caribbean writers, and the Situationists to name a few, Lautréamont still garners a devoted 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. 

The Celestial Bandit features work by authors and artists including Mark Amerika, Louis Armand, Ben Arzate, duncan b. barlow, Tosh Berman, R J Dent, Douglas Doornbos, Seb Doubinsky, Steve Finbow, 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, and Audrey Szasz.

All profits from the sales of The Celestial Bandit will be donated to Surfrider Foundation (www.surfrider.org) for their efforts to protect the oceans that Isidore Ducasse loved so much.
