About me:
"Thoughtful, critical, committed to expounding an openly manifold perspective toward all modern life, these and other releases by Soft Skull endorse a new, enlightened way of looking at society. Harsh politics and inspired fiction aside, in a nation that starves for real reality, Soft Skull Press has solidly grounded, daringly provocative food for the brain." —Willamette Week
"One of the most visable and respected alternative houses in the US...like Grove Press in the 1950's and 1960's." —Quill & Quire (Canada)

A Decent Ransom (my novel)
Wilfried Hou Je Bek





Jun 17 2008 3:23 AM





Apes in the wild have language and it takes only a small leap of imagination to try to give them a second, human, language. For over forty years researchers have been trying to do this with increasingly good results. Our language, when it is passed on to a different species, becomes a new language. PrimatePoetics is born from the realization that this language should be appreciated in its own right, as the greatest revolution in literature since the invention of written Chinese 4000 years ago. 'PrimatePoetics is Here' is the first primer to this new field. It explains where it comes from, it gives an overview of the field on an ape-by-ape basis and closes with an extensive anthology of relevant scientific and artistic sources. But most of all 'PrimatePoetics is Here' hopes to give a feel for the outsider charm of the language of the apes.

Thanks for the add! I'd like to invite you to take my horror novel, BITTERNEST, for a spin in the media section at www. alandraven. com where the first chapter is available to read at your convenience.

It's the story of a detective who forms an uneasy alliance with a group of vampires to prevent a powerful entity from enslaving the fog-shrouded city of Bitternest.

Cheers,
Alan
