We've gotten a helluva lotta orders. Actually, we sold more Books than we have sitting in the kitchen.

Thanks.

So and So,
Each generation champions a superstar, so consistently relevant that they come to accompany that generation through its evolution, being a part of and ultimately shaping its identity. Such past icons have been the likes of Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, John Lennon, or Michael Jackson. For this generation, Generation Y, Kanye West is not only its greatest spectacle, but in some senses, a spiritual figure.

We are here to spread a doctrine. Well, a pseudo-doctrine. We ask you to use your pulpit for Good.

A few months ago, my brothers and I embarked on a creative journey that began with a “What If?”:

What if the Bible, the most singularly significant publication in the ancient canon of Western tradition, were updated to reflect our modern society? What would it look like? What we came up with was an interventionist art, coffee-table novelty, that will appeal to both Kanye fans everywhere and those made curious by this enormous cultural phenomenon.

At it’s simplest, it is the book of Genesis, modified to feature “Kanye” or “Yeezus” in the place of God or Y---A. “In the beginning Kanye created the heaven and the earth… And Kanye said, Let there be light: and there was light.”

In a sense, Kanye’s awesome and orchestrated spectacle is truly a religious experience. In a foreword, we explore our consumerist, quick-fix, and information-culture, and celebrate Kanye and the outsized significance he plays in our lives. All of this, bound in a black, hard-cover gold-leaf imprinted book.

We present to you the Book of Yeezus.

Q&A

What’s the deal? Why are you taking this joke so far?

- This book wasn’t made to make fun at Kanye, nor to represent an undying devotion for him. Book of Yeezus is simply an exposition. It’s adding an original twist to something ancient and important in order to capture new meaning. We are trying to cast our spotlight towards the way cultural icons have come to be the contemporary spiritual figures in our information culture.

Who’s behind Book of Yeezus?

- Book of Yeezus was put together by three entrepreneurial brothers with a special interest in mass-society and its effects on our worldview and imagination.

Can I get a refund, or what?

- We will refund orders only once we have spoken with the customer and deemed it reasonable. But ask yourself- why would I want to return a Holy Bible?

How long will it take for me to get the book at my doorstep?

- It should take roughly a week to two weeks to get you The Book.

Can I carry the Book of Yeezus in my store?

- We are happy to ship in bulk - send us an email! (bookofyeezus@gmail.com)
