SHINTARO KAGO QUESTION FROM A READER
Earlier today, reader Bradley posted this comment about Shintaro Kago:
I was wondering if anyone knew what Kago collection [Abstraction] was from? I went to TacoChe recently and just grabbed most of the Kago stuff they had, but alas none of them featured his formalist stuff.
I actually don't know which exact books/publications that story (and each of his other formalist experiments) came from. We're talking Multiplication, Blow-Up, Labyrinth and Drunkard Condo Syndrome. Does anyone else know?
wheres anonymous k didnt he translate them?
ReplyDeletei wanna know toooo
@daphnaknee: I know where he translated them from, and it's from a very round-about way that' not quite satisfying. I wanna know the OG book sources (ISBNs PLZ)
ReplyDeleteIf all else fails, I will just email Kago directly, oh godjavascript:void(0)
i looked for this information too and found absolutely nothing.
ReplyDeleteI happen to have every kago-book (except for the ones published later 2008/2009) as RAWs on my computer (if anyone cares to for the rapidshit-links of those, i could post them...)
