WHAT WE SAY
WHAT WE SAY
Truly pocket-sized books (just 3 x 4 inches!) of short writing from today's avant-garde. The second coming of a storied chapbook series (think Bob Dylan, Allen Ginsburg) published between India and NYC's Chelsea Hotel in the 60s/70s.
In Mishima’s Head, Mario Bellatin trails his sometimes avatar, the Japanese literary icon Yukio Mishima, across a cyclorama of figures and phantoms, where images and memories flash like photographs in passing view. His ritual decapitation complete, Mishima’s wanderings are headless and propulsive. Histories and stories come and go. A writer’s torments are forever.
