THE TENTH ISSUE IS OUT!




Popular romance novels are called 'novela rosa' (pink novel) in Spanish. These pink novels are widely sold at the newsagents and the kiosks in Latin America. Mexican artist Jorge Méndez Blake refers to this specific kind of 'best-seller street literature' in the 10th issue of Kayisi Kent A4. He uses illustrations from a selection of classical literature to create a storyboard for a love story. The artist uses illustrations from the works of Jules Verne and Edgar Allen Poe to form a non-verbal narrative. Treasure Island, Sherlock Holmes and Poliphilo's Strife of Love in a Dream (Hypnerotomachia Poliphiliare) are also among the literary works the artist makes use of in this issue.

You can get a copy of the new issue from the mobile photocopiers around Karaköy, Eminönü, Osmanbey, Şişli, Aksaray and Elmadağ.
