Pseudo Diary

Softcover with slipcase | First Edition | 296 pages

Published by Byakuya-shobo, 1980.

This book is a compilation of diary entries and photographs that Araki ran as a serial in a magazine entitled “Weekend Super.” One entry reads: ‘July 4. Got up at 9a.m. Decided on sex over jogging. Ate breakfast watching Baisho Chieko and Hashi Yukio on the tube. Fried rice and leftovers on parade…’ Everything written is true, and at the same time, nonsense. Walking the tightrope between the two, Araki reveals his backstage props to the audience.

Condition: Very good (natural shelf wear and some small dings to dust cover)
