For once I feel lost in space – Kenji Siratori

I must admit to everyone that I had never heard of this dude before (until today), when I saw that Wreathy (a new swedish elctro act) had a quote from this guy in one of their new songs. Below you find a description of him taken from myspace:

Kenji Siratori: a Japanese cyberpunk writer who is currently bombarding the internet with wave upon wave of highly experimental, uncompromising, progressive, intense prose. His is a writing style that not only breaks with tradition, it severs all cords, and can only really be compared to the kind of experimental writing techniques employed by the Surrealists, William Burroughs and Antonin Artaud. Embracing the image mayhem of the digital age, his relentless prose is nonsensical and extreme, avant-garde and confused, with precedence given to twisted imagery, pace and experimentation over

linear narrative and character development. With unparalleled stylistic terrorism, he unleashes his literary attack. An unprovoked assault on the senses. Blood Electric (Creation Books) was acclaimed by David Bowie.

However, I do have some rumors about this guy – that it isn´t actually one guy, but a collective of people. Not sure if this is true, but it would certainly explain the quantity of “bullshit” eminating from this source
