About the author
Shintaro Kago
143 books348 followersKago Shintarō ( 駕籠真太郎) is a Japanese illustrator and manga artist. Kano was born in Tokyo in 1969. He debuted in 1988 on the magazine COMIC BOX. Since then his comics, usually short stories, have been published in several adult manga magazines, gaining him considerable popularity around the world.
Kago specialises in ero-guro, a Japanese visual genre that puts its focus on eroticism, sexual corruption, and grotesque body horror. Many of Kago's manga have strongly satirical overtones, and deal with grotesque subjects such as extreme sex, scatology and body modification. His unique style has been called "fashionable paranoia".

Aquí les dejo mi opinión más amplia de esta novela gráfica :
https://youtu.be/dSaHK0bcY2c
Una obra maestra del horror y del eroguro. Shintaro Kago jamás me decepciona.
¿Para qué leer Tract?
1. Una gran crítica al sexo heterosexual como siempre.
2. Sin necesidad de texto perturba con la historia gráfica .
3. Grandes elementos de horror, usando, tripas, gusanos, spaguetis y cables.

How disturbing. My face was one of discomfort throughout. This made me feel itchy and crawly.
I want to say the art work was... beautiful... but that seems like a grossly inappropriate term, considering the content of this. The detail was impeccable though and I loved that it was a silent story, told solely through the (very graphic) graphics.
Pick it up, give it ago and enjoy! >(^_^)<

Primera vez que me enfrento al estilo de Shintarō Kago, y en definitiva es todo un maestro del gore y lo bizarro, una historia corta sin diálogos donde nos sumergimos en una especie de pandemia que está destrozando (literalmente) a toda la humanidad, páginas y páginas de ilustraciones impactantes.

Vermi e spaghetti sono il trait d'union delle quattro short stories che compongono questo libro; in ciascuna storia il soggetto viene declinato in varianti originali e mai prevedibili: dalla paranoia allucinante alla gelosia vendicativa, dalla reificazione industriale fino all'angoscia del contagio di massa.
I disegni di Kago raccontano più di mille parole, che qui, appunto, sono superflue e azzerate: nessun titolo, nessuna didascalia, nessun rumore, solo i vermi, i cavi e gli spaghetti che separano ma uniscono ogni storia. Parfait.

Esto demuestra que no hace falta texto para contar una terrorífica historia, ya que a través de dibujos en diferentes viñetas podemos "comprender" qué nos quiere contar el autor en cada una de las 4 historias que conforman este libro.
El hilo conductor de estas historias podríamos decir que se trata de aquellos objetos o alimentos largos y finos. Me explico: cables, espaguetis, lombrices, etc. Convirtiendo así las historias en algo sumamente grotesco, bizarro e incluso vomitivo (en el buen sentido de la palabra).
Es difícil explicar de qué van cada una de estas historias que conforman el libro al completo, así que dejaré que vosotros mismos las descubráis.
Pd: Quedaréis fascinados por los dibujos de Kago.

More sketchbook than comic, but it does have a bit of a sequential narrative to it albeit without any words involved. Tract is Shintaro Kago proving that humans are indeed basically spaghetti. It's as grotesque as one might imagine a Kago book to be, and worth it for those of us who just love his brand of horror. It's not going to be the most memorable book by him you'll get your hands on, but it's pretty (gruesome) to look at.

Ciertamente perturbador. El arte me resultó muy interesante aunque considero que las expresiones faciales no son el fuerte del artista pero de todas maneras es una buena obra, es curioso que no tenga diálogos pero siento que le da un toque extra de inquietud

This is a great short silent horror story.
