Jacob’s Room is Virginia Woolf’s own modernist manifesto. Jacob Flanders is a mere point of contact between a crowd of people, appearing and disappearing in a tableau in which all is flux, without certainty and without a controlling viewpoint.

Cervantes escribió el Quijote con la intención de parodiar los libros de caballerías, que consideraba simples sartas de disparates desprovistas de todo interés. Para conseguir su propósito, ideó la historia de un hidalgo aldeano que enloquece de tanto leer las inverosímiles hazañas de héroes como Amadís y Palmerín, y que, al igual que los caballeros andantes, se echa a los caminos con el noble afán de ayudar a los necesitados. Sin embargo, el Quijote es mucho más que una simple novela humorística, pues constituye una lección magistral sobre la grandeza y la miseria de la condición humana.

This book is a compilation of three zines of poetry and prose, first self-published between 2001 and 2003 —Bebop Coffee Shop, The Fabulous Adventures of Yours Truly, & Spoken Jazz & the tingg * Machine. The idea is for it to stand alone as its own work while complementing the episodic audio musical of the same name, in which this book was written. The zines were created with an early fifties portable typewriter called the Remington tingg * Machine, original black & white photography, crude sketches, glue sticks, scissors, and innumerable hours at Kinko's.
