JOHN PASCOE ON THE EDITOR

One of the most important publishers of the time and the only one that remains active to date is the Taller Martín Pescador. Founded by John Pascoe, who learned his trade as assistant to Harry Duncan in Cumington Press, established in West Branch, Iowa When Pascoe moved to Mexico City in the mid-seventies set up a printing of books made by hand originally named the Rascuache Press. Later, at the suggestion of Roberto Bolaño, Pascoe changed its name to Kingfisher Workshop. Suddenly the street number 101 of the Leonardo Da Vinci in Mixcoac district where the workshop was located, became the headquarters of a large group of artists and poets. Alfredo

's obsession to understand how to lock together the basic features of the writing and general space the book in which they appear (and the obsession to see that the image of an interlocking whole world, a world) has marked the life of John Pascoe. First from the art of typography, in print, but then also from philology, as researcher of the first typographic works of Mexico. But I said well, and that it is also important: it implies that Pascoe package not only practiced the art that reflects (as the Kabbalists, whose meditations on creation creations are small), but show us that the interlocking between the typographic theory and practice results in more extensive and difficult to define: a work perhaps and perhaps a destination.
