Experimental expandable editorial format
[edit]Experimental book-object design that allows multiple reading combinations.[1] It was created to explore new ways of reading a book, moving away from conventional editorial designs. According to press reports, by alternating its two lateral flaps, the format enables up to ten different reading compositions.[2][3][4]
Technical description
[edit]The format, also known as the winged book, consists of a base page and two lateral flaps (left and right), allowing readers to alter the sequence of the printed text and create alternative reading paths while preserving the integrity of the sheet.[5][6]
Journalistic articles have described it as a disruptive editorial format that challenges the linearity of reading by encouraging the reader to become an active participant, creating a visual and literary experience.[7]
This editorial design has been associated with and compared to other experimental book formats, such as One Hundred Million Million Poems (1961) by Raymond Queneau.[8]
Origin
[edit]The extensible editorial format was conceived and designed by the Argentine poet Pablo Andrés Rial, who has stated that one of the main motivations behind its creation was to bring poetry closer to younger readers by challenging the widespread belief that poetry is a genre intended only for a small, select audience.[9][10]
The experimental design was registered as an industrial design with Argentina's National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI) under registration number 108465.[11][12][13]
The University News and Opinion Agency (AUNO) described the format as a design that frees readers from the rigidity of following a single predetermined reading order in traditional texts. The article draws a comparison with Hopscotch by Julio Cortázar, noting that both works create the sensation of allowing readers to direct their own reading path, while arguing that such an approach had not previously existed within poetry.[14]
In the same article, the creator of the format stated:
"I see it as an assembly machine. For every poet, a single work is actually many works, because one poem inevitably connects with another. This book simply makes that relationship visible."[15]
The Mexican literary magazine Óclesis wrote:
"Rial spent three consecutive days in a state of 'creative fever,' sacrificing sleep to give shape to his vision. He sought, in his own words, 'to leap beyond the walls of the verse's linear continuity and stop seeing it as something finished, instead appreciating it as the labyrinth that it inherently is.'"[16]
