Yeah, most of it perhaps but the Kenji Siratori stuff seemed pretty pretentious for want of a better word. I take it he is 'unique' in the field in that he seems to dole out acres of sub Burroughs cut up/nonsense type stuff and most of the bizzaro stuff it at least narrative based rather than stream of (tedious) conciousness stuff. Don't get me wrong, stram of conciousness type stuff or cut up type stuff can be nice but the Siratori stuff I read was just really awkward and bad.
