What’s new at the publisher bymotoco

Fresh off the press, freshly delivered: the new edition from bymotoco. “Raconte pas ta Life” by Kiki de Gonzag, a first book that hits you head-on, without a single half-measured word. At the frontier between narrative and biography, the words are laid down bluntly, chosen without concern for pleasing or displeasing. It’s striking!

“I love rewriting my texts — ten times, fifteen times, a hundred times. Except for the first drafts. When I’m asked to rewrite right after giving birth to them. When they’re still hot with excitement. Damp. My discourse is suspended, dissonant, contradictory, distressing.”

 

Raconte pas ta Life is the fourth publication by Bymotoco, the publishing imprint of the Mulhouse-based artists’ residency Motoco. In pocket format, 96 pages long, the book is already available in the bookstore 47 Degrés Nord.
