320 Pages, paperback, 6.5x8"
An anthology of one of the first and best personal zines to come our
way. I think Doris has been with us since the very beginning and will
probably remain until the bitter end.
From the publisher, "Cindy
writes her zine, DORIS, like she is figuring out the human condition.
She makes writing about the simplest and most common things - playing
music, childhood, cooking, or sex, resonate with universal
understanding. She helps us make sense of more complex things like the
satisfaction from doing useful work, natural curiosity, the ability to
use logic, gender dynamics, introspection, the need for challenge and
change, combating depression, and creating art and literature. She
shares and explores the emotions that go along with having an abortion,
rape, dealing with the death of family, or sexual harrassment in a
context that is enlightening and personal, feeling like a close friend
opening up to you. What's most impressive though is that she relates
these things into every article in her zine seamlessly."
