Welcome to Spuyten Duyvil Limited Editions
Our
sixth project:
A limited number of copies from the signed edition of 50
are still available!
Loaded with extras, this limited edition of the infamous Henri d'Mescan's work will move forward despite a cease and desist letter from his former publisher.
Spuyten Duyvil
remains committed to publishing this
fantastic chronicle of cats from outer space, monocle-wearing
resistance
fighters, enormous talking tortoises, and over-sequenced genetic
terrorists
told through a polyphonic mélange of marginalia, abstracts,
appendices, and
much more. All presented while the
failed relationship between Schneiderman and Yeer—marked by their
editorial
introductions as well as their strange love child named “Dial-Up
Networking”—reaches a gruesome textual climax invoking the Egyptian
crocodile
god, Sebek the Unholy.
We
feel strongly about the work that we bring to the public.
You and your friends can help us out.
Simply
follow this link 
to reserve your
copy.
We
will hold out as long as we can. Get
yours before the lawyers get involved!
Never heard of Henri
d’Mescan? That’s because he’s a master
at keeping secrets…
Infamous writer and theorist Henri
d'Mescan emerged in pre-war
Europe as a cultural critic, enjoying considerable acclaim until his
June 1947
conviction by a French war crimes tribunal for the purported authorship
of a
set of collaborationist documents collectively known as “The Vichy
Papers.”
Escaping
execution (his collaboration in question), d’Mescan
disappeared from the world stage until the later 1950s, when the
experimental
writer Henry Mescaline was discovered—and the 1964 publication of Hallucigenome: A Henry Mescaline Reader cemented
Mescaline’s place in the nascent consciousness-expanding movements of the period.
Following the 1967 death of his
primary patron, d’Mescan/Mescaline entered a period of intense
seclusion to
construct his legendary unfinished epic: Post-America,
which is, as one critic notes, “heir to Finnegan’s
Wake, Gravity’s Rainbow, and the Tibetan
Book of the Dead.”
The
current edition, edited by theorist/fiction writer Davis
Schneiderman, and academician Phoenelia Yeer, brings together pre-War d’Mescan prose, his
Henry Mescaline prose, and
for the first time, excerpts from the previously unavailable Post-America.
