Description
Back in print for the first time in a decade, this is the hilarious autobiography of a pioneer of the 1990s zine movement. A young woman named Pagan, having just graduated from a writing program at a very prestigious university, is left with a single burning question: Now what? She then takes an unusual step by deciding to invent her new self-the one the public will know-by starting her own magazine, one that will be written, created, and star none other than herself.

Reviews
"Kennedy emerged from a graduate writing program with more creativity than employability. As she explains with the insight and humor . . . she solved the problem that situation posed via her 'zine. She inserts plenty of delightful comic strips, fumati, and prose from the 'zine into the narrative, and she offers a look at the slacker generation sans the usual belittling and reproof." -- Booklist , on previous edition
