Les Bon Mots des les Satellites (III)
Curated by Kester of Harlan
This book is a private publication that exists only for the pleasure of the Chalk Man Satellites. All other uses are null & void. In the 70’s & 80’s, a group of fun people created the group pseudonym Kester of Harlan to share words. The name is resurrected here to indicate the contributions and words of many, though curated by a committee of one. Released Saturday 29 July 2023 at the 50th Pennsic War at Cooper’s Lake.
This book is intended to embrace the cascade effect of writing/reading created by the great Québécoise writer Jack Kerouac when he taped
sheets of paper together so he could type On the Road in its original 120 foot-long scroll format; as if it were all in one breath. As such, this book
is best enjoyed by pouring the profanity like a waterfall before your eyes and letting it carry you along.
Translation assistance provided by Macha, Katherine, and Google. Content assistance provided by Mym and Hennessy.
DEDICATION:
To Hangover Hill a place rich in love and profanity.
