Shameless Dick: Oddysey of a Cad | Heinrich Lyle

Super proud sister here giving a shout out to my brother @HeinrichLyle , whose latest novella—The Benevolent Society of Swindlers—has been picked up by Running Wild Press. This is a terrific small press run by savvy, innovative, smart people who love what they are doing. Pub date TBA (sometime in 2019) as part of an anthology of novellas that “run outside the lines”. (The tagged book is my bro‘s 1st novel). #writersoflitsy

pick

Nihilistic tale, minimalistic prose, Heinrich Lyle would make Kurt Vonnegut proud. Follow a Dick‘s journey into the twilight zone as the moral of the story unfolds, which I guess is what not to do if you were well endowed? Amidst his wisdom what I'm constantly struck by is Lyle‘s prose. It's tighter and hotter than yoga pants. Sexy is the definitive word. Read this book and be aroused. Now I want more. FYI that‘s a massage tool in the pic. Jeez.

Louise, HeinrichLyle

julesG Great review! 6y

HeinrichLyle You are too kind, Eric. Much appreciated. As you know, it often feels like we write in a vacuum, contenting ourselves with the simple act of writing, consigning ourselves to the reality that nobody gives a shit. Having somebody appreciate your efforts, particularly a fellow writer, means so much. 6y

Louise Great review, Eric! I agree with you about the book. I laughed out loud throughout! Of course, this is the unbiased. . . ahem. . . perspective of the author's sister! Looking forward to reading your work too! 6y

Alfoster 😂😂😂😂😂! 6y

Nute Fantastic review! 6y

I'm proud of my brother Heinrich Lyle, who gave a reading last night at the Peregrine Book Company in Prescott, AZ. Bookstore staff, the publisher, some audience members, and my brother all wore masks! His publisher is considering an audiobook now! Littens who would like a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review, contact Heinrich at heinrichlyle@gmail.com. A few review copies still available. website: heinrichlyle.wordpress.com. 🤓

For the #indiepresses prompt, I'm giving a shoutout to Loose Moose Publishing, a small press based in Prescott, AZ that has been doing a wonderful job enthusiastically promoting my brother's first novel, SHAMELESS DICK: ODYSSEY OF A CAD. For Litsy poets, note that Loose Moose is currently accepting submissions for its next anthology. www.loosemoosepublishing.com.

Found this wonderful giclée print of my brother's favorite writer Richard Brautigan. It's by London artist Mat Pringle. Gave it to my brother, Heinrich Lyle, in celebration of the publication of his first novel in March 2017.

#LoveLLetters @Cinfhen My favorite "L" author is my brother, Heinrich Lyle, who just published his first novel with Loose Moose Publishing. This book traces one man's descent into his own Purgatory and has thematic and structural elements that pay homage to lots of great writers, from Dante to Brautigan. It's quirky, funny, disturbing, and very well-written. Needless to say, I'm a proud sister! ??????

Cinfhen Can't argue with this pick!!! Congrats to your brother 🎉Love seeing #FamilyPride 💙💜💙 7y

minkyb Congratulations. Wonderful achievement. Great publishing house name as well! 7y

Louise Thank you, @Cinfhen and @minkyb! I will pass along your congrats to my brother! It's a very special feeling to hold a book in my hands that my brother authored over the course of 20 years! Many drafts, many forms, and now, here it is! And guess what-- I'm next! Writing away! 🤓 7y

Louise @Cinfhen @minkyb Thanks! 😊 7y

Hooked_on_books What a great title! Clearly your brother has a sense of humor. 7y

CherylDeFranceschi You had me at Brautigan! 7y

Louise @Hooked_on_books Yes, my brother can be laugh-out-loud funny when he's on a roll. Incisive, sardonic humor. (edited) 7y

Louise @CherylDeFranceschi Brautigan is a HUGE influence! 7y

Louise UPDATE: My brother has let me know that he would be happy to send a copy to anyone who would like to read it in exchange for an honest review. He has 10 copies available for this offer. Interested, @CherylDeFranceschi of the first stack add? 😊Anyone else? If interested, please email your shipping info to pvmusegroup@gmail.com. Thanks! 🙌🏻🌟🎉 (edited) 7y

CherylDeFranceschi Totally! Thank you! 7y

Louise Great, @CherylDeFranceschi! I received your email and have let my brother know to send a book to you! We look forward to your review! Thanks! 😄 7y

CherylDeFranceschi Yay! Thanks so much! 7y

Louise @CherylDeFranceschi My brother says he mailed your book today. He says he hopes the book doesn't traumatize you! LOL! It IS a quirky book, but I told him I'm sure you'll be fine! 👍😉😂 (edited) 7y

Louise Hi, @CherylDeFranceschi I'm curious to hear whether you have read the book yet. I know TBR lists can be incredibly long, so I don't mean to cause any pressure. Just curious to hear what you thought of it. Best wishes to you! 🤓🌟 7y
