	Das Beiwerk Nik Thoenen, Lorenzo le kou Meyr "The book is object-like, white, reduced to its body, as if torn from its cover and apparently relieved of its content. The content remains imaginary, it is gleaned only through the remaining footnotes. It is these marginal notes that open the space for interpretation, incidental meanings, that act and tempt." "I was just thinking about the body thing of a page... armless with feet." German, paperback, open-thread stitching, 96 p., 148 x 210 mm., 300 ex. IISBN 978-3-9502302-7-7 Price: 14,50 euros

	Pigpen David Jourdan Remember Pig-Pen in the Peanuts cartoons? He was always covered with dirt and grime. He was a walking sludge heap, filthy and proud of it: Charlie Brown. — Pig-Pen why are you always so dirty? When in the world are you going to clean up? Pigpen. — I have affixed to me the dirt and dust of countless ages... Who am I to disturb History? Following the Italian comics magazine Linus, 1965 and the French Charlie, 1969–both named after Peanuts’ characters–, it might be time for Austria to have its Pigpen.

	Th’ Life an’ Opinions of Tristram Shan’y, Juntleman, as enny fool kin plainly see. Voloom I David Jourdan The book is the dialectization of the unabridged text of Laurence Sterne's «The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman», Volume I (first published 1759) into redneck vernacular. The translation originates in early runs of Al Capp's comic strip Li'l Abner (1934-1977). Capp's characters speak in odd dialects. However, they do not talk like real hillbillies but as Capp feels a hillbilly would probably talk if he lived near Dogpatch all his life. Thanks to the Dialectizer, Samuel Stoddard's translation engine. Corrections and additional translations based on Al Capp, "Li'l Abner Dailies, Volume Two: 1936", Kitchen Sink Press, Princeton Wisconsin, 1988, and Al Capp, "Li'l Abner Dailies, Volume Seven: 1941, Introducing Moonbean McSwine", Kitchen Sink Press, Princeton Wisconsin, 1990. > Travis Lehtonen reads Chapper XII In "Shandyismus.
