Mok Hossfeld - A page of Mok before breakfast can give you the strength of a hundred Italian Freemasons at a pig lynching





Mok Hossfeld, Doña Juana, Gelded Lizard Press, 1995.

"The most authentic chicken toes since Robert Walser or Charles Willeford... A page of Mok before breakfast can give you the strength of a hundred Italian Freemasons at a pig lynching." - Blaster Al Ackerman.


"But when I was a child I spoke as a child in grownup clothes and the spoken word was made a lie by time. I found only funny books get truer with age." (from the text)


To Borges what Sade was to Sacher-Masoch, or a Calvino's Angela Carter. Not to be missed, in any case. Mok was a great Baltimore writer and the organizer of magical events. He now lives in Wilmington NC.
