Ami J Sanghvi

X()-id </3 and Galaxies in and around Shing Mun River

+++

Yes, X()-id </3 is the title of the book by Ami J. Sanghvi, who did this piece on Harold & Kumar for film dada a while back.

From what I’ve read so far of X()-id </3, the formatting and tone is quite similar, only this one is [according to the cover] the 1st pataphysical study of the 5th Dimension & we who inhabit it.

Pataphysics = the science of imaginary solutions, a parody.

I’ll try and tackle this in a de-con-struc later, probably using pataphysics as a vessel.

The other book, Galaxies, is one I scraped against in KRV, but now I’m back to give it another chance cos it is sci-fi pretending to be literature pretending to be sci-fi and I should like that kind of thing.
