Book Description
– Breaking with all existing writing traditions, Kenji Siratori-a young Japanese writer-unleashes his first major publication Blood Electric. Firmly rooted in the 21st century digital-age, Siratori’s cyber-punk writing is more concerned with vivid images, pace and developing a new writing and reading experience (which echoes the Surealists, Burroughs and French avant-garde Pierre Guyotat), than linear narrative and character development.
– Vividly evoking the coming to consciousness of an artificial intelligence, Blood Electric is a devastating loop of language from the Japanese avant-garde which breaks with all existing writing traditions. With unparalleled stylistic terrorism fully embracing the image mayhem of the internet/multimedia/digital age, Kenji Siratori unleashes his first literary Sarin attack.
– Contemporary Japan is exploding in slow-motion, and Kenji Siratori arranges the blood-and-semen-encrusted debris with the finesse of a berserk Issey Miyake.
