I wanted Desistance so bad since I'm a huge fan of Antoine d'Agata's works. But it's okay, I'm sure I'll find another copy on sale next time.

His posting that book reminded me of d'Agata---so I finally spent some time researching him, and I like his work a lot from what I see.  I just ordered a copy of Acephale earlier today.  Favorite works/books by him?

I can strongly recommend Antibodies and Ice.
Apart from Acephale, some other books were also released on Studio Vortex in recent years - https://studio-vortex.com/
I also really like the documentary film about d'Agata called The Cambodian Room: Situations with Antoine d'Agata

Antibodies looked very interesting, but it was out of my price range for a first-off "see if I really like it" sort of purchase.  I'm hoping that Acephale will give me enough for a start.  Thankfully, it looks like several of those other books listed there have made their way to US sellers!

I came across that movie in preliminary research too, so I will try and watch it sometime soon.

As I think that d'Agata is worth a topic alone and not being discussed further in Sotos topic, therefore I will make
another thread only dedicated to him.

Perhaps I've missed it in this thread, but, does anyone have the Bruce Benderson essay on Sotos? Translated to English would be great, but in French would still probably work.

At last, I have finished scanning Obviates and added it to the folder.

Good thing I was the one who purchased it, huh? I'll scan that one next. ;)

And just like that, it is done. I just scanned Desistance and added it to the folder. With the help of Adobe Acrobat (which I didn't have before) and getting into the groove of things, it actually didn't take me long to scan the entire book in one go.

I think I'll scan Kept next.

How might one gain access to this folder?  (Also, looking forward to my Sotos shirt!)

This is intriguing... (at least to me).

I was showing a friend of mine, who is interested in exploring Sotos' work, the scans that I and others have made, and I noticed that tool. was altered for its inclusion in Proxy. The order of chapters is different, and I noticed that the very beginning of my favorite chapter, the letter, starts with "My Dear Woman" in Total Abuse and the standalone publication and "Mrs. Anderson" in Proxy. I wonder why this (or any) alterations are made to the text(s) after the fact.

Furthermore, I wonder what, if any, changes were made to his other works that were later republished in collections. Hmm...

I've just uploaded Kept to the folder, my friends.

Are you referring to chapters four and eight? I'm looking at those chapters in Total Abuse and Proxy and they're identical in both books (chapter four starts with "My Dear Woman" and chapter eight with "Dear Mrs. Anderson"). I haven't read the standalone Tool published in 2013 however, so I don't know if that edition is different.
