4.0

The overwhelming majority of the pieces in this anthology are awesome. I read a criticism of this book that complained that there was not much substance to the stories, however artfully written, and I would say that I agree with that to the extent that I finished the book feeling really eager to read more of certain authors' work. I saw some of the pieces performed when Sister Spit came to UCSD and some of my favorite zine writers are up in there, like Nicole Georges and Cristy C. Road. New favorites: Robin Akimbo, Rhiannon Argo, and especially Jamilah Mecca Sullivan--her story narrated by a badass New York City high schooler blew me away.
