Zine Review - The Cheese Stands Alone
November 5th 2008 16:45
Franco's perzine looks like a photo-rich layout of his personal journal, his adventures and missteps. It's actually a bit deeper than that, as he's organized it into stories, which give it a nice litzine taste. In, "One Weekend" we learn how not planning something leads to a perfect circumstance, although there is an aftermath, but it's up to the reader whether or not to read it, for it is clearly delineated. A series of shorter episodes follow, "Hallmark can wipe my ass", "This is how it's done" followed by, "While I eat my Chicken". There are many, many more stories like these. My personal favorite is the EDS Work Journal – this piece of prose is pretty meaty, giving us lots of tasty tidbits about Franco's work like. He ends with a nifty two-page piece cut & pasted on music sheets, "Do you really care what I listened to while putting this together?" Neat little per/litzine, and I'm looking forward to Number Two. Tastes like: Brie.
