Love in a Dead Language

 

 
Love in a
Dead Language

by Lee Siegel

 

 
Below are the first six pages Lalita Gupta’s twenty-page term paper, The Mountain of Ecstasy, the Ocean of Bliss: Positions for Sex in the Kama Sutra Compared to Indian Dance and Yoga as well as to Chinese Tai ChiChuan and International Gymnastics which she submitted to Professor Leopold Roth for Asian Studies 150B, Introduction to Indian Civilization.

Comments in the text of the paper are by the T.A., Anang Saighal. The note on the title page is from Professor Roth and reads: “A+ an excellent paper—see me for further discussion. You might want to go on to do graduate study, to turn this into a dissertation or a book! Forgive the T.A.’s sarcastic comments—I don’t think he understood your paper. This is brilliant work—original & energetic & sensitive—a pleasure to read. I wish I had more students like you!”

You may also read an excerpt from Love in a Dead Language and meet Ms. Gupta. Also available are screen shots for the Kamasutra CD-ROM that Professor Roth began developing with a software company.
