AGENTE PROVOCADOR (A WILD THING MAGAZINE) NO. 6
Book Summary
The 6th issue of Agente Provocador invites the reader on an unusual journey through destinations as diverse as Burma, Russia, Japan, the United States, Bolivia, and Venezuela. This magazine, published by La Felguera, combines real chronicles, archaeology of cursed objects, and frontier tales, all presented in a pocket-sized format with kraft paper and gold foil stamping. A cult item for those seeking stories outside conventional circuits.
What is it about?
This volume unfolds across six destinations, each with its own load of oddity and mystery. In Burma, it covers the figure of God's Army and black tongues, a report by Carlos G. Marcos. In Russia, Rodrigo de la Fuente investigates records made from human bones that emerged from the Siberian cold. Japan offers a section titled "Anti-Japan," while the United States, Bolivia, and Venezuela complete the itinerary. As a common thread, the "Wounded objects / objects that wound" section analyzes singular pieces: the saint's armor and the zeppelin bomb. All of this is complemented by documents from the Black Cabinet, a collection of texts and images that delve into the occult and the marginal.
