Octavo. (40)pp. Malutzki reprints spam emails from Hong Kong, machine-translated into German and then "back-translated" into a "not less funny" English. Added are collages, all original to the copy, made up of letter envelopes and Chinese Yuan notes. Certainly humorous at the outset, the book also bears insidious traces of the porosity between the internet, governmental control, capital exchange, and the slipperiness of "authenticity." Bound in patterned paper over boards, with paper label. Remote rubs to corners, else fine.
