Infinity’s Kitchen no. 3

This issue is about objects, physical ones, like boats, remote controls and prefabricated furniture. You are invited to encounter these objects in any order you like and to make of them what you will. The printed edition of this issue included instructions for folding one of its short stories into a paper boat.

Along with this issue, Infinity’s Kitchen launched a new web-comic. Every week or so, Infinity’s Kitchen will publish a new installment in the comic strip series called Broken Muzzle.

The book illustrates the different ways language and form can bring fresh new approaches to the same story ingredients.
