Kakograph

Recommended Posts

I was rereading a bit of "Dhalgren", and the word "kakograph" came by:

 

Back on the page where he had been writing, he crossed and recrossed his own kakograph till the bar of ink suggested a word beneath half again as long.

 

I've tried Googling the word (with no matches), as well as checking the Errata just to make certain it wasn't simply a misspelling.

 

Anyone familiar with the word?

I'm not familiar with it, bit I did a Yahoo search for "Kako" and found that it's a language.

Didn't have any luck with the word "kakograph" though. :)

 

I did find a site called "SpecFic World", which is "Online directories and search engines with an interest in science fiction, fantasy, and horror."

 

It might be helpful. :)
