In the great tradition of Jorge Luis Borges's Cronicas de Bustos Domecq, Mad Magazine, The Onion's In The Know with Clifford Banes, Army Man, Might Magazine, Yeti Researcher, and The Neal Pollack Anthology of American Literature, comes a work of metafiction that's so visionary, so revolutionary, that it's trite. Papers for the Suppression of Reality is a work of academic humor that's billed as the English translation of Jacques Reboul's non-existent surrealist journal Feuilles pour la suppression de la realite. Additional background: Argentinian author Jorge Luis Borges wrote fake book reviews of books that didn't exist. Matt Werner teamed up with the brilliant, though embattled, yet-to-be-tenured Dr. Shaka Freeman to write one of the fake books referenced in Borges's "Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote." The Jorge Luis Borges Ultra-Secret Society is proud to present this title for the first time in English. Critical reception: Excoriated by Borges scholars for its pseudo-historicism, anachronisms, and substandard grammar, Papers for the Suppression of Reality has been called "The worst book ever written on Jorge Luis Borges."What you get: Printed in California on 100% cotton archival paper with the world's largest Jorge Luis Borges-themed crossword puzzle in the back. Special editions also feature a fold-out map of "Borges's Real and Imaginary Buenos Aires." Hand-bound and individually numbered by the authors.
