Product Review
Zinester, author, aging hipster, and graduate of the prestigious Wesleyan University, Pagan Kennedy has captured the hearts of America with her personal zine
Pagan. Drawing from this source, she presents not only the zine-world standards (an interview with the ever-beguiling Lisa Suckdog, articles on dumpster diving, and eight-track collecting), but also includes some helpful dating tips, such as "Pretend to go to the bathroom and never come back." Indeed, only Pagan seems to have noticed the bizarre visual similarity between avant-pop neo-beatnik author Kathy Acker and hyperactive fitness guru Susan Powter. In articles and cartoons that address the difficulty of staying hip in the '90s, Pagan provides a welcome alternative to
People magazine and the later works of Hegel. Cruise through this book only if you want a extremely entertaining read and the opportunity to develop an unhealthy fixation on the magnificent Ms. Kennedy.
Product Description
Take a veteran of tofu burgers and stained futons, the publisher of a 'zine, the high-patroness of thrift store shopping, and turn her into a Doris Day of aging hipsters, and the result will be something close to Pagan Kennedy. With tips on such areas as Reproduction, Work, Decorating/Home Management, and Sex, this second cousin to Tiffany's Table Manners for Teenagers provides anxious X-ers with a state-of-the-art social planner.
