DESCRIPTION
Can we know language? Or is language a game resisting knowledge? And what magic do we find in the words that we find within words? ‘linguistick-uistickling’ is Enrique Enriquez’s follow up on his previous work with the poetics of the Tarot. But here he is more spell-binding. This is a truly modern grimoire that discloses what hides in plain site. Our tongues are tickled. – Camelia Elias, editorial review.
“Halfway between the tongue twister, the riddle and the jigsaw puzzle (rompecabezas in Spanish), the exercises of Enrique Enriquez have a wonderfully weird way to travel from the eyes to the brain and then to the mouth, where finally the transmutation process is complete at the time of the utterance. Alchemy of the verb, pure and applied.” – Carlos Soto-Roman
“NOTe: LINGUISTICK is a deviant text. The first thing to know is: Drawing a letter creates a psychosomatic condition. The constitution of each letter and the etiology of various patterns associated with them are laid out in Tarology (which is the perfect companion and "phrymer " to this book- get it). Linguistick explores their clinical (mis)applications, along with demonstrations of wordly procedures possibly never seen before by the unconsciously cynical reader. Performed out in the open, his methods often provoke "coeur sing " and sound like cursing, but are a cure sign for falta corazon ( see: heart failure contains its own alta razon to be by-passed or not). The other thing to know, is simply this: The man is a doctor (charlatan). Which doctor? Who's to say? I always heard that an apple a day would keep doctors away! I am happy to half beam mistaken. Enrique Enriquez has hand delivered a veritable crate of juicy pommes. If I could love anything more than wordplay, it would be delivery. I'm feeling pretty satisfied.” – Kahdijia Kysia
