Senda Argentine Edition = 15.000 copies = 136×197×009 mm
I was quite disappointed with my reading experience. Not in Mordillo's work- but in the publisher's choice of material and presentation. It's an over≈≠≈mash of his themes in too few pocket-pages with strange and poor color-choicery. I'll treat their decisions like an at-bat in baseball—> here are three "pitches" that I'm using to make my point the most "striking":
1. If only 80 pages are to be used, then I prefer more commonality of subject-matter, instead of the full-oeuvre toss-up used here, because of the way he finesses his themes by exploring variations and re-castings from page->to->page. That endearing artistic touch is taken away and it's absence even made the reading experience feel sort-of "wrong" to me.
2. Then, the page size also violates another of the adored singularities of his talent since his work is the sort that needs to <-breathe-> because of his strong tendency towards large-architectural choices and grandiose staging- which objectively and/or subjectively crowd a tiny page and also "didn't look right" to me.
3. Then, the color scheme is just weird and often annoyed me. The first and last seven pages (weird!) are printed with his full-color rendering as normal but the rest is reproduced in all-purple or all-blue that switches for every two page spread. Both colors are very un-Mordillo dull and their shading goes from too washed-out to over-saturated. It's hard to explain but I'm sure you would agree that it also violates the particular characteristics loved about his work.
That makes three strikes on Senda- so avoid this edition unless it's price-irresistible!!!
Going back to my "edition line" at the top:
I guess that this is an "Argentine English" edition from the copyright page's language. Who cares? It was what I found interesting about the numerical grammar that led to such contemplation-> is putting a period in the place that gets an Anglo-comma (see above) done down there? I've never seen such a thing. The comma<.-,>period swap is seen the other way between a currency like Euros and their cents -which I agree with against our $_.__ since it's the continuation of the monetary amount- not a restart that a period implies- but that finality representation makes 15.000 nonsensical to me.
->That's your cue to teach me something Buddyfede...
