Supervert in Translation2008.04.24 Supervert is proud to announce the first translation of one of its books. Nežemiško Sekso Fetišas is the translation of Extraterrestrial Sex Fetish recently published by vanguard Lithuanian publisher Endendu. The cover design closely follows Supervert's original white-on-white silkscreen (see picture), and in addition Endendu added illustrations by Lina Sasnauskaite. Supervert has given several interviews about Extraterrestrial Sex Fetish to the Lithuanian press. The English versions of these will be posted here on supervert.com before too long. Meanwhile Supervert would like to convey a hearty thanks to Aurimas Lazinskas and Endendu for lavishing such care on their edition of Extraterrestrial Sex Fetish. They did it right — and there is no higher compliment an author can pay a publisher. In addition to this translation of Extraterrestrial Sex Fetish, the press release for Necrophilia Variations has been translated into Spanish and the sample chapters have recently been translated into Chinese — an act of courage, given the repressive climate in China today. If you are interested in translation rights to any of Supervert's works, please don't hesitate to inquire.
Horror Panegyric2008.03.23 Do you like your literature transgressive? Ok, quick, can you name the author of the first book since Hubert Selby's Last Exit to Brooklyn to be sent to an English jail for his creative work? You would think that doing a few months in prison for having written and published a novel would earn a guy some serious notoriety. Instead his work appears to be so transgressive that it dumbfounds even those who normally claim to like that sort of thing. It transgresses the transgressors. It freaks them right the fuck out. Horror Panegyric seeks to redress this situation — to give notoriety where notoriety is due. Horror Panegyric is a hardcover book published by Savoy Books in England. It begins with Supervert's essay "Horror Panegyric," an analysis and appreciation of the Lord Horror novels created by David Britton and Michael Butterworth, the founders of Savoy Books. It was the first of these novels that got Britton sent to Strangeways Prison. In addition to Supervert's essay, Horror Panegyric includes excerpts from the difficult-to-find Lord Horror novels (Lord Horror, Motherfuckers: The Auschwitz of Oz, and Baptised in the Blood of Millions) and a timeline of Lord Horror productions (books, comics, CDs). It features cover art made by the renowned John Coulthart. Horror Panegyric is a limited edition hardcover that you can obtain directly from Savoy Books or from Amazon.com (while supplies last!). The entire text — including Supervert's essay and the novel excerpts — is also available online here at supervert.com. This was not a work-for-hire. Supervert wrote "Horror Panegyric" on its own initiative out of a desire to publicize the underappreciated work of Savoy Books. Please tell your friends. Read Horror Panegyric.
Forward March2008.03.10 If you were wondering what the hell Supervert has been doing with itself for the last few months, the short answer is: writing. That doesn't mean blogging or texting or coding or emailing. It's something else altogether. Perhaps it sets itself off from the speed and plenitude of network babel precisely by turning inward, slowing down, opening up a space in which to think. Thus the power of a book is not just what it says but what it doesn't. It wears the armor of silence. More about books as the time ripens... J.G. Ballard — author of Atrocity Exhibition, Crash, Empire of the Sun, et al — may be succumbing to cancer, but the ballardian lives. To support Ballardian.com's Festival of Home Movies, Supervert created a one-minute video called Superego. You can watch it on Ballardian's YouTube channel. Probably it will only be relevant to you if you're interested in Ballard. Dennis Cooper kindly drove some traffic this month to supervert.com and to Necrophilia Variations in particular. In gratitude, Supervert would like to congratulate Mr. Cooper on winning the Prix Sade in 2007 — yes, it's a prize inspired by the Marquis de Sade for literature that goes "beyond all forms of censure." Mr. Cooper also recently published a volume of poetry called The Weaklings, which you can order from Fanzine Press. Congratulations to December's contest winners. If you were one of the lucky 31 people to receive a Supervert book, please consider showing your love (or hatred, as the case may be) by mentioning it on your blog, adding a review to Amazon, or sharing it with a friend. Supervert is an independent venture and relies heavily on the sheer enthusiasm of readers to get the word out. Gracias, merci, danke. There is now an RSS 2.0 feed for Supervert News. More soon.
