Human Flesh Super Limited Edition – winner announced

On the 12th of January, a competition was announced for a ‘Super Limited Edition’ of I Wonder What Human Flesh Tastes Like by Justin Isis. The Super Limited Edition is inscribed and decorated by the author, and contains unique material.

'Super Limited Edition' plus accessories.

Entrants were asked to send a tweet-sized message (perhaps in the form of a caption) conveying what they thought was the hidden meaning of the book’s cover. A winner has now been selected. Daniel Corrick sent us the following entry and will be receiving the ‘Super Limited Edition’ soon:

Synthetic realities; gold plated Existentialism: the soft, moist charms of consumption and conformity. Welcome to style.

'Super Limited Edition' - glimpse of internals.

For the disappointed who did not win on this occasion, if you are a fan of J-pop you have another chance to win by entering the competition at this link, organised by International Wota and Chomu Press.

The rules are simple: in fifty words or less, describe how you would serve a Japanese idol of your choice as a meal and why you chose this specific recipe for this specific idol. A Johnny’s boy in a flambee? A sticky sweet dessert for an H!P star? An Avex Trax diva served up as a spicy roast? You decide, and explain why!

First prize will be a copy of Justin’s I Wonder What Human Flesh Tastes Like, signed and personalized by the author himself, and a $50 YesAsia gift certificate. Second prize will be a signed and personalized copy of Justin’s book and a $30 YesAsia gift certificate. Third prize will be a signed and personalized copy of Justin’s book.
