Perseverance

“I say that the present state of society is iniquitous and is ready to be destroyed. If it is the work of theatre to preoccupy itself with this, it is even more so that of the machine-gun.”

– Antonin Artaud, Direction and Metaphysics, 1931.

It is a difficult thing: life and production in late stage capitalism. When you turn your attention to a passion-project, you necessarily turn your back on street marches, disruptions, valiant attempts at ungovernability, and desperate screaming recruitment of  the suddenly mobilized crisis-reacting masses. To do anything but fight is to normalize the new apex of american exceptionalism, the new white supreme god emperor. What is there in the writing publishing and distribution of a text that can validate itself under such circumstances? Well, this text… everything.  The Heteropocalypse is a vortex, one that shall suck the clothing off every straight white cishet man on earth and then suck their delicious nude bodies up into a transformative void where they may return in a more pleasing form. The faith of the most faithful among us has been challenged, but one cannot depart from a collection of words that possesses you as completely as these do us. A new effort is underway, another surging attempt to infect our world with Heteropocalypse. The details will remain hazy, but Wading against the current, spitting our words into a gale force wind, ejaculating up a blasting firehose, all these tasks may be easier than making Heteropocalypse as widely read as the xtian bible, but that doesn’t make it not our task.

Our commitment remains, the word shall be made flesh, despair is the harbinger of triumph. Believe. Believe, sad solitary believers. Believe until you weep blood, until hope and anticipation spills uncontrollably from you in thin viscous rivulets down your thighs. Believe.

It’s Alive!

SELF1-AThe collective of scumfuck demon-channelling weirdos that calls itself Zelig Rana is very proud to reveal and make available our grand literary scion. Heteropocalypse: Ritual is now available for purchase via the most notorious channels of gross, bloated, but ammoral and totally indiscriminate capitalism. That is right, this book violates the community standards of every publisher, literary agent and literary journal we could find, so we had to resort to self publishing at Amazon.com.

Hoping to get you all hooked on our product, we are offering the thing at a limited time discounted price of only $7. All we can say is: buy the fucking thing already!

SELF1-BActually, that isn’t true, we have more to say. Zelig Rana is, as always, excessively verbose and transparent in our processes. Self-publishing through Amazon.com is nothing but an exercise in desperate vanity for the majority of authors who resort to it. Our text, this sacred, world shaping (destroying) document deserves better. It needs a marketing push commensurate to it’s grandiose ambitions. There will come a time in the future when we recruit street teams, sticker squads, swag factories and degenerates who are willing to leave surreptitious copies in public libraries, bookstores or restrooms. If you have read the book and would like to promulgate it, please touch us, virtually, at: heteropocalypse@riseup.net.

In the meantime, we will continue to wield the hyperreality infotainment apparatus by making our smut go viral on facevirus and OkCuspid. Once we have a good readership, there will be a fundraiser with grand dirty exhibitionist perks to help us get off the internet and into street(team)s. Excited? We sincerely hope so. The first thing you gotta do is BUY THE BOOK.

And next? The sequel to this monstrosity is literally pouring, glossolalia style from our mouths and heads even as we post this. Like the birth of Athena from Zeus’ cleaved skull, Heteropocalyse: Sacrifice is coming from us fully formed in the channeled voice and language of Babylonian demon-spirits. The sales of Ritual will make the translation, editing, and distribution of Sacrifice possible. Terrible things will follow, beautifully terrible things.
