Writer Goes Crazy, Tattoos Book on 2,301 People

Don’t Read My Book

Author Shelly Jackson has a new way to publish a book. She will ask that 2,301 people step forward and have one word each of the 2,301 word story tattooed somewhere on their body. Now that’s innovative but she has also placed some restriction on the participants insuring this story will never actually get read.

Jackson will never release the book in print and if pictures are taken of those who have been tattooed, they must make sure the tattoos are not visible. What the fuck? Oh sure, it’s art, you say. Come on. Seems pointless if no one will ever be able to see the work and appreciate it.
