sotos

[prolapsedlielack]

requesting for current updates/ news? i'm so unbelievably out of the loop with current sotos news despite being an obsessive consumer with everything about his work, music, writing, interviews, whatever, i'm infatuated with him- apologies for the begging but i'm kind of desperate for any input around upcoming reissues and publishing (amphetamine sulphate?) etc. also if anyone has a pdf/ scan they'd be willing to share with me for more recent publishings and specifically pure filth? cannot find a pdf online for it at all. i have various news article/ interview scans, pure 1-3, all in the proxy comp, lordotics, selfish little, comfort and critique as pdfs i've found through digging through the internet equivalent of the trash if anyone's after those id be happy to email/ put up somewhere if that's worth anything lol.

do you have the parasite issues? if not, i'd be happy to drop those to you. i have a decent amount of sotos pdfs/epubs

Can anyone direct me towards some of the more interesting critical literature on Sotos in French?  Specifically "The Peter Sotos Question" by Bruce Benderson?  The more I dig, the more it seems that there is a fair bit that has been written about him---just not in English!

there are some odds and ends collected here: https://web.archive.org/web/20090302093243/http://www.editions-desordres.com:80/critiques/peter_sotos_cahier.php
you should be able to get a PDF of the Benderson essay through the Nouvelle Revue Française website. It's no. 577, Avril 2006.

re the Sotos/Mason correspondence mentioned earlier, there's really nothing to it. iirc Mason asks for a replacement copy of Buyer's Market since his was confiscated by the police and there's just one letter from Sotos where he apologizes for being late to reply.

Cheers for that... Mason got busted for KP once didn't he?

Thank you very much.  I recall coming upon that page a while back, but I couldn't remember it when I started digging this time around.

received my copy of Kee MacFarlane yesterday and am about halfway through it. the publisher's note accompanying it is interesting and recommended reading before starting the book. Chip from 9BB refers to this new work almost as a "book review" in the publishers note, and so far Soto's prose is pretty lucid in covering Place's work.

i found the assertion by Chip that if Dworkin were still alive that she'd be a TERF pretty notable and probably correct.

yep she would definitely be.

In Italy terf are a rare thing, since they are 99% insted the lGBTQ movement, whilere there is a  HUUUGE percentage of Swerfs. but this goes out of topic

My copy made it out to me today.  Haven't had the chance to do anything other than look it over yet (he packed it like a tank!), but everything looks interesting so far.

[Balor/SS1535]

Sadly I completely missed out on the new Sotos books.
Maybe a silly question, but is there anyone who wants to sell these books:
1. Kee MacFarlane
2. Obviates

I am selling some Sotos books myself [click here].
Ironically, I understand that the Obviates book is a compilation/re-issue of 2 of the original books I am listing (Predicate & Show Adult).

As far as I am aware, Obviates does not add anything besides a few sections of scrapbook material.  It's interesting, but likely far from essential.

For anyone interested in Buyer's Market, I transcribed the entirety of it.
I wanted to find out how the content changed by a change of medium. When you can't hear the cries, when you can't hear the age, the stutters, the sniffs, the cars passing by: what remains?
The words. What these people actually said.

Not sure if either of these will interest anybody, but I thought I'd post just in case:

1. I just scanned my copy of Total Abuse, and I'd be glad be glad to send it over if you PM me.
2. I am printing Buyer's Market shirts (from a high-resolution scan from Solotroff!) to order. I sell the shirts at-cost, so PM me to order a shirt on white or black for something like $5 USD (plus shipping).

[AiFeith]

A shirt with either the Lazy, the Tick or the Index book covers would be really dope. Maybe even all three would fit, but that depends on the design.

Anyone here that speaks Portuguese:
I'm currently translating Index into Portuguese and I'd love some feedback. So if you want to read what I have translated (halfway through, I've translated the first two chapters) send me a dm and I'll send you what I have so far.

An extremely indepth and exhaustively researched Spanish language article about Peter Sotos, with particular regard to his music/audio credited work, was published just recently on the Argentinian website Metacultura and can be found here:

Música - Pornografía: La faceta sonora de Peter Sotos (Google translate does an ample job rendering it into English)

The authors Matías Bragagnolo and Mauricio Tomassetti have succeeded very well with correlating his history and recorded work into a readable and mostly accurate chronological timeline, with indepth biographical information about closely (and loosely) related musical groups to Sotos. They've also done an amazing job with breaking down his audio collages, especially with the subjects featured in them and their histories.

I'm from Latin America and my first language is Spanish. I could help make an English translation if anyone is interested. In the meantime I recommend using DeepL as a translator instead which does a much better job.
