Ninja Turtle Sex Museum
James Unsworth
Ditto Press

Every once in a while, you see something that literally takes your breath away. Ninja Turtle Sex Museum by James Unsworth is that thing. Really really really not suitable for children or anyone who objects to lots of TMNT-related gay horror action.

Answer to an Inquiry – Robert Walser

“You ask me if I have an idea for you, sir, you ask me to draft a sketch, a play, a dance, a pantomime, or something else that you could use, that you could abide by.…”

The Swiss author Robert Walser’s Answer to an Inquiry is a short work written in the form of a letter. Walser assumes the voice of a great man of the theater responding to an aspiring actor’s request for advice. The young actor is given very simple, practical suggestions on how best to perform absolute anguish. This new edition, featuring a new translation accompanied by more than 40 drawings is a collaboration between translator Paul North and artist Friese Undine. Answer to an Inquiry should serve as a practical handbook for anyone wanting to convey deep suffering.

Illustrator: Friese Undine
