What he writes is the inadvertent intuitive result of the form he imposes from the beginning. Interesting how effective even the slightest formal restraint is for him. Large print, 92 pages, a nice little red hardback if you take the dust jacket off. KOK also doesn't acknowledge that under-prestigious author with the tripthong surname - he talks about canonical biggies Hamsun, Tolstoy, Borges, Cervantes, Joyce. No one mentions KOK in the same breath as Kerouac, even if both were deeply inspired by Proust and KOK's "inadvertent" method echoes Kerouac's essentials of spontaneous prose. A typo on page 7 (“than” instead of “that”) on a page about trust made me distrust this one’s publication at first, thinking it a little money-grubby, but that slight initial sense fell away as the old familiar voice and progress through internal and external worlds established themselves. Reads almost like a re-mixed excerpt from My Struggle Book Five’s parts about writing.
