bio auto graphic: edition 26 – A 3rd Month of Sundays






bio auto graphic: edition 26 – A 3rd Month of Sundays


Michael C. Nicholson / ensixteen editions

A5, 16 pages, cardboard cover, stapled.

£4


Michael Nicholson continues to chart his life through this stunningly visual series of zines. A 3rd month of Sundays records 'February through the lens of a quartet of Sundays' and in the process becomes 'notes on the properties of a state of change'. 

Once again it is powerful and deeply engaging stuff: unexpected waves of grief; the parting of a 'terribly sweet, terribly sad' young couple; how it feels to have the privilege of teaching; the power of self-mythologising. That makes it all sound grand and imposing, it is not, bio auto graphic is firmly rooted in the everyday - texts from a lover, TV detective dramas, simple risottos. 



bio auto graphic is a warm, open-armed zine, unafraid of being emotionally resonant.
