Why must books always look like books? Why must cassette tapes retain their original function? The first cassette book in history. Without tedious printing processes, each word is imprinted on the end of a cassette tape and wound back. As you read by turning it with a pencil, you can not only reminisce about the past but also contribute to environmental protection.
"The Peculiar Landlord II" by Zhuang Yixin, Volume Two, six short stories, now available for pre-order.
About the Author: Zhuang Yixin, Malaysian Chinese. A graduate of Parsons School of Design in New York. She has lived in Malaysia, Shanghai, and New York. Currently residing in Singapore. She weaves discarded, outdated cassette tapes into a new fabric, which she calls "music fabric." She aims to exchange music with everyone in this entirely new way. This book, "The Peculiar Landlord," is adapted from her own true story. She ingeniously utilized the empty cassette tapes she had woven over two years, imprinting words onto the end of each tape and compiling them into a cassette book. This invites readers to set aside the conventional form of a book and the original function of a cassette tape, to read in a novel way by turning gears with a pencil, while simultaneously cherishing memories of the past.
