Demitasse Divorce
An Existential and Erotic Infidelity?

by Richard Cirulli

Demitasse Divorce is a deep existential and erotic love story that breaks our sense of convention and a few taboos about marriage, sexuality, and “infidelity.” The setting is the majestic mid-Hudson Valley circa 1992. The story is centered on Elia and Anais, two baby boomers fast approaching middle age, as they attempt to regain their passions and sexuality lost via their failed marriages. Now freed from the responsibili­ties of parenthood and the obligations of marriage, both are now on a quest to replace their sexual fantasies and regrets with sexual realities. Elia is a gentleman, sophisticated architect, existentialist and spiritual moralist, who stumbles across Anais by some act of synchronicity. Anais is Elia’s muse and counterpart being an agnostic, hedonist, and actress. Both find themselves drawn together in a hot and uninhibited affair as they attempt to find harmony in the analogy of their opposites. In their attempt to free themselves from the conventions and taboos of the adolescent bourgeoisie sexual mores, they eventually find them­selves shackled to an inescapable mutual love they never anticipated and equally fear – it’s a love they are no longer able to navigate.

Cirulli has taken us on an erotic and highly combustible journey! The characters are very real and human and reach to the core of our emotional and sexual selves. An interesting and highly relatable mid- life immersion in lust and love which poses the existential hypothesis: “ is it that only sin can bring unity to the body, mind and soul together, simultaneously on the physical plane?” You decide.
Erogenous genius!

I thought that this was a good book! I enjoyed the storyline and the topics discussed in the book. Something I thoroughly enjoyed was the way Elia thought. His mind and the way he processed things were mature and well-rounded. The grammar in the book is good, and I recommend this book to anyone interested in it!

This book takes a deep look into existentialism and the many factors that play into it such as relationships, romance, and erotic life. You will develop strong bonds with the characters and you will find many answers in your day to day life by understanding the meaning of what it means to think existentially. I highly recommend this book!

"A perfect summer read.

When the "Dog Days" of August come as Summer draws to a close, surfeit with sweet melancholy, this is a book for the greatest generation of fortune born between 1946 and 1964. As the reader is transcended into a world of apparent sadness, like a classic Greek Play, we realize the uplifting humor that continues to pull us through to the end. Unfortunate situations that we find ourselves in, sooner or later are in reality: Blessings.

A book you can not put down until you finish."

The Songs of Roland
The Return of the Cathar Magi

by Richard Cirulli

Roland is a recently divorced aging baby boomer now living the life of a spiritual seeker, intellectual, existentialist, and artist who is also secretly battling an incurable disease, as he faces his enigma of navigating the desires of the flesh without corrupting his soul. A man of harsh self-criticism, discipline,
and honesty, he is earnestly fearful of being labeled a hypocrite. He is driven with the idealism to assist humanity in distress. Roland is no fool, or a Don Quixote, rather a moralist who stands up against the injustices of life at all hazards. He is viewed as an avant-garde intellectual philosopher and artist within the arts and academic community, though among his intimate women friends he is known for his spiritualism, sensitivity, honesty, respect for women,
and his quest for a higher self – at times viewed as a paradox, an anachronism, and contradiction. Though his profane detractors regard him as a threat and as much an idealistic fool.

Roland, raised in a devout Catholic home, begins his spiritual quest in his youth after receiving a series of visions that take him on his arduous path to the western hermetic tradition of Gnosticism, the Kabbalah, and esoteric
Freemasonry. Eventually achieving the grade of magi and adept of the illuminati order – a secret he guards jealously, known to just a few confidants.

Through a number of synchronistic events, Roland finds himself intimately involved with Candice, one of his former college students. As the relationship grows and Candice moves into his loft, Roland is plagued with a consistent and
frequent nightmare of being burnt alive at the stake for being a Christian Heretic in Southern France during the Albigensian Crusade of the 13th century.

Roland believes this is an omen for his immoral transgressions, and he will be cursed to burn in the eternal damnation of hell. Before dying Roland is given a heavenly vision that reveals both Candice’s and his true identities and missions.
