Reactions and Reviews
This unusual zine is a story of V/C before they met one another. Vaguely dissatisfied C, just moving into her high-rise apartment, discusses romantic prospects with cynical, wise-cracking Jenny (If you can't find Mr. Right, settle for Mr. Right Away). Lonely V visits Mr. Smyth's bookshop, having finally accumulated enough cash to purchase a treasured volume of Rilke's poems Smyth regretfully admits to just having sold, that day, to a deserving woman (C). V admires an unfinished painting in the rear of the shop, finding in the still-faceless embracing figures some spark that reignites his romantic longings, which he'd been almost prepared to give up. Each of the sections is accompanied by a pertinent song of the time. It's a pleasant story Brown describes as “a 'parallel lives' prequel.” This zine is bound on the short side of the page, and each letter has been hand-stamped. The two illustrations, both in color, are by Colby Pfeil. [1]
