Thrilling Living

In 1986, guitarist Marlene Marder published a German-language diary documenting her time in&nbsp;<a href="https://kleenexliliput.bandcamp.com/album/kleenex-liliput">Kleenex/LiLiPUT</a>, Zurich’s first all-female band. Thrilling Living is proud to offer a lavishly illustrated English-language edition, featuring over 200 images, including fanzines, interviews, flyers, and photographs, and updated with a new introduction and afterword by editor&nbsp;Grace Ambrose&nbsp;and translator&nbsp;<a href="https://jencalleja.com/">Jen Calleja</a>&nbsp;in addition to the original foreword by&nbsp;Greil Marcus. This is the most extensive document of this influential group, unparalleled in its depth and candor.

Neither memoir nor scrapbook, but something defiantly in the middle,&nbsp;Kleenex/LiLiPUT&nbsp;is a compelling example of what it looks like to document one’s own life, and all the insights and messiness that entails. This project is an interpretation, a translation, a republication, an attempt to expand and enhance Marlene’s unruly original. First released by Nachbar der Welt Verlag, the publishing imprint that preceded&nbsp;<a href="https://www.editionpatrickfrey.com/en/books/das-tagebuch-der-gitarristin-marlene-marder-kleenex-liliput">Edition Patrick Frey</a>, Thrilling Living is proud to make this important story accessible in English for the first time.

Designed by&nbsp;Conor Lumsden&nbsp;and produced in a one-time edition of 2000 copies, this 288 page, 8.25” x 11.25” book is beautifully offset printed in Belgium by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.diekeure.be/en-gb/printing">Die Keure</a>.&nbsp;
