Featuring some of the biggest names in avant-garde culture of the time \u2013 including figures from Beat poetry, gay and trans culture, Warhol’s Factory, San Francisco’s North Beach and New York’s Lower East Side art scenes, the Naropa Institute, contemporary music and film \u2013 the series has since acquired a cult following.[1]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Table of ContentsHistory[edit]List of titles[edit]Recognition[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]History[edit]Hanuman Books was founded by American art critic and editor Raymond Foye and Italian painter Francesco Clemente in 1986. The name \u2013 as well as the striking format \u2013 were influenced by Indian prayer books collected on a trip to India in 1985. “The books, small in size and bright in color, were always dedicated to the writings of a particular guru or saint, and were intended to be carried around with ease in a shirt pocket for potential contemplation throughout daily life.”[1] The editors elected to publish a series of similarly designed books to showcase contemporary writing, hard-to-find translations, and “exquisite expressions” of poets and artists. They named the press after Hanuman, the Hindu monkey god.They decided to publish twelve books a year in two batches of six, released in the spring and fall. Foye often chose younger American writers; Clemente sought out works in translation, including Ren\u00e9 Daumal, Henri Michaux, and Francis Picabia. Hanuman Books also approached well-known writers and visual artists, including John Ashbery, William Burroughs, Willem de Kooning, Allen Ginsberg, and Patti Smith.The administration and editorial functions were managed by Foye at the Chelsea Hotel in New York City. Clemente was responsible for crafting Hanuman Books logo, and also conceptualised the overall design.       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Hanuman books were printed on a letterpress at C.T. Nachiappan’s Kalakshetra Press in Madras (now Chennai), India. The pages were sewn together by local fishermen and others. All of the books have the same 3\u00a0in \u00d7\u00a04\u00a0in (76\u00a0mm \u00d7\u00a0102\u00a0mm) dimensions except for Ren\u00e9 Ricard’s God with Revolver, which exceeded the format’s limit of twelve thousand words.George Scrivani, who was the editor at Kalakshetra Press, liaised with Foye via telephone, fax and mail in order to exchange corrections, and then shipped the books by boat from Madras to New York. Indian obscenity laws affected the publication of two books. Cookie Mueller’s Fan Mail, Frank Letters and Crank Calls contained a picture of Priapus, a Roman fertility god, which was deemed obscene, and the shipment was held up (though Hanuman Books eventually won the obscenity case, and those books not ruined by customs officials were successfully shipped to New York). Nachiappan himself destroyed the first print-run of Bob Flanagan’s Fuck Journal in order to avoid prosecution under anti-obscenity laws, which applied to printers as well as publishers. He was convinced by Foye to print five hundred clandestine copies, however, which were smuggled to the United States.The books were distributed on an informal basis from the Chelsea Hotel. The editors also employed professional distributors (e.g. Sun and Moon Press in Los Angeles, Small Press Distribution in Berkeley) which placed Hanuman books in bookstores and museums. They were often sold near cash registers because of their unique size, and sold for four or five dollars.The last Hanuman books were published in 1993.

If you were to line up the whole Hanuman pantheon on a shelf chronologically and take a random core sample of a few titles … you would be mining several distinct trajectories of literature, art, music, and underground culture from the past century.”[1]References[edit]External links[edit]     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki41\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki41\/hanuman-books-wikipedia\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Hanuman Books – Wikipedia"}}]}]
