The Assemblagist

I am now offi­cially a source of all things known and unknown. At least that’s how spe­cial I am to me. After an inten­sive Googling of myself for my auto­bi­o­graph­i­cal entry in a soon-​to-​be-​named pub­li­ca­tion, some­thing inter­est­ing and unex­pected came up — a book by Mark I. West titled “The Japan­i­fi­ca­tion of Children’s Cul­ture”– and it quotes a review of The Animé Ency­clo­pe­dia writ­ten for Pop­mat­ters. Back in my reviewer of all books days, I could pop out a book review a week for Pop​mat​ters​.com. I enjoyed the fool out of receiv­ing and read­ing hun­dreds of gal­leys and first editions…

And then there’s Genya Ravan who so gra­ciously thanked me for my help with her auto­bi­og­ra­phy, Lol­lipop Lounge. I regret not being able to fin­ish that project, she’s a great lady.
