Love in a Dead Language

 

 
Love in a
Dead Language
by Lee Siegel

 

 
Below are three screen shots from the Kamasutra CD-ROM that Professor Leopold Roth began developing with a software company. The CD-ROM was never produced because, according to Roth, a rival version (translated by Lee Siegel) made it to market first.

You may also read an excerpt from Love in a Dead Language and meet the love interest of the novel. Also take a look at six pages of Lalita's term paper, The Mountain of Ecstasy, the Ocean of Bliss, which she submitted to Professor Roth for Asian Studies 150B, Introduction to Indian Civilization.
