IKWYDIT8epigrams

The 1st Book by Ortega is an accumulation of over a hundred sayings which concern everyday experience. Each saying was born out of Chris’ observations over the course of a year (the last year of the 20th century, to be exact.) “Epigrams” is divided into five sections of experience. Criteria which guided the author, back in ‘99, was each epigram had to: ask a question, answer a question, or in some way do both.

“Epigrams” by Christian Ortega was author published and sold exclusively by Printed Matter, Inc. in New York City. Originally printed in a signed limited edition of 300 copies. More info can be found at:
