Performative Readings of a Gamebook – Martin Kohout
A book launch of a publication that uses so-called gamebook structure by Martin Kohout and Matilda Tjäder, coedited by William Kherbeck, who appear along with invited guests. The event will take the form of performative readings by authors and guests, accompanied by sound and projection.
Puffy Grip Logic is the first book from The Key Cutters Series, in which various authors, ideas, plots, and writing genres engage the structure of the gamebook. The form offers the reader various routes, detours, and encounters for moving through the book.
Written by Martin Kohout, and contributors, this book begins the series with a fantastic episode full of adventures, where dreams, desires, and fears ornament the journey, walls turn to dough, and all coppers are bottoms.
