Jonas Mekas. Requiem For a Manual Typewriter
A celebration, in novel form, of the legendary avant-garde filmmaker's beloved machineOn March 25, 1997, Lithuanian American filmmaker, poet and artist Jonas Mekas (1922-2019) found a dusty roll of computer paper under his desk. Compelled to fill this forgotten roll, Mekas began to write a form of text quite foreign to him: a novel.Requiem for a Manual Typewriter is an ode to his beloved typewriter, on which he practiced writing spontaneously, describing the present on a machine that was already considered technologically He stretched the paper into his beloved Olympia De Luxe, on which he had typed all kinds of texts for so many years: diaries, poems, Movie Journal columns, interviews, manifestos and letters to friends.
