Hammers, Sickles and Sex  Shrapnel
Diary of a Communist Courtesan  

by Steven Sydney

Available on Amazon-Kindle now.

A literary novel explicit, political and unrepentant.
A first-person detonation set in Shibuya’s Love Hotel and in billionaires’ bedrooms.
Think Henri Miller’s “Tropic of Cancer” with a Trotskyist manifesto lodged in its spine.

The narrator is Yu°, a 185-IQ escort operating in Tokyo’s elite circles, a 20-year sugar baby and honeypot of poor family and every talent, who builds a clandestine revolutionary movement — the World Youth Party — from the limos and boardrooms of the people she intends to destroy.

The sex is not decoration. The politics is not metaphor. The ride is wild. Yü uses desire as both weapon and manifesto. Her patience for the world’s hypocrisies is zero, while navigating a storm of spies, betrayal and political fire.

But unexpectedly she encounters Love in the shape of an intense and lurid threesome.The Love she was all the way desperately looking for is bestowed upon her as an unsolvable Riemannian equation. And that will be her undoing as a sex-bot but her ascension as a mutant, who will then race to topple a corrupt Empire and avert a global catastrophe.

"Hammers, Sickles and Sex Shrapnel Diary of a Communist Courtesan" by Steven Sydney has finally been published. It is available on Amazon Kindle.

"An harrowing poetic journey evolving into a poignant invocation of love and redemption. " "With the poet’s life shattering into an unending quake, he spirals into a vision both epic and tragic, depicting the suicide of God and the collapse of the universe." "Prepare to be transported to the ethereal heights of hope, burning desire and love" ."Steven Sydney’s poetry is born under the watchful gaze of Dögen, Laclos, Hölderlin, M.Shelley, Hugo, Rimbaud, Poe, D.H. Lawrence, Mayakovsky, Aragon, Deshimaru and… A. Tarkovsky. "

Publié en Français en 2024 sur Amazon-Kindle, dans sa langue originale, ce recueil de poésies d'Amour et d'Apocalypse vous bouleversera. A la fin du Monde c'est l'Amour qui nous fermera les yeux; la seule force qui pouvait nous valider durant ce bref passage terrestre...Et qui en valida si peu.

My new book "Being Another Forever " just received more outstanding praise from Senior Marketing Executive Director, Lecturer and Author Jonathan Holburt : "What if we could compress all the wisdom and hard-earned experience we have into a single book filled from start to finish with justifiable rage, epiphanies, and urgent lessons? In Steven Sydney's case, he has in his philosophical book "Being Another Forever." His unique background as a globe-trotting international banker makes some of his perspectives unrelatable, while others are universal. He draws upon his encyclopedic knowledge to send us a barrage of humanity's foibles and follies. Some of his examples such as Carthusian monks spending a lifetime writing a tome only to burn it before their own life's candle had burnt down to the wick resonated with me. Steven Sydney's "Being Another Forever" is a Rubik's cube in words. The meanings of what he has observed over a lifetime are granular as well as grand. This book isn't for everyone. But great books never are."

"A wonderful collection of philosophical insights. Steven Sydney (aka Jean-Christophe Steven) suggests that time, space, causality and identity are human projections on the being-in-itself, the indiscriminate underlying reality. Reading this inspiring book will enrich your existential perspective." - Avi Loeb, Harvard professor of science, bestselling author of "Extraterrestrial" and "Interstellar"

My new book , in French but soon to be translated in English, expounds a lifelong philosophical reflection about what is the essence of being. Rooted in the existentialist and zen ontologies it is soaring into astrophysics considerations to culminate into a global weltanschauung

It is about a shackled corporate warrior, me, fighting for my autistic son. I will tell all about the painful reality of managing an autistic person while living the hectic life of a senior banking executive juggling the lies, pitfalls and conspiracies of the Executive Suite and of the dominant Narrative.
