An anthology of zines from and about New Orleans. For years the punk and zine community has thrived, producing beautifully rendered volumes of stories and artwork. Over the years these authors have poured their hearts out and shared their thoughts and opinions on music, politics, bikes, gentrification, gender,class and, of course, the city itself. Reprinted here in their original format are selections from over a dozen zines including: Chainbreaker, Nosedive, Crude Noise, Rocket Queen, Emergency, I Hate This Part of Texas and Chihuahua and Pitbull, as well as author introductions about their experiences during and after Hurricane Katrina. Many of the originals have been lost or destroyed and in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, this book serves not only as a preservation of writing and artwork, but also as an attempt to aid in rebuilding the city that inspired and shaped this body of work. Proceeds from Stories Care Forgot will be split amongst grassroots New Orleans groups.

What's a zine?,

This review is from: Stories Care Forgot: An Anthology of New Orleans Zines (Paperback)
I was amazed to discover zines (after an article in NY Times and help from my kids). Using techniques that hit some complicated intersection of folk art, literature, journalism, essay and memoir, the authors of the pieces in this book show clearly why people want to restore New Orleans, despite everything, after Katrina. These writers set the culture of the city before us in all its splendid and sometimes frightening wackiness, its wonder and diversity.

This review is from: Stories Care Forgot: An Anthology of New Orleans Zines (Paperback)
I only lived in New Orleans for a little under a year, 2007, but this anthology of zine articles made my heart pain for the Upper Ninth Ward, the Quarter, all the quirks and broken pavement and train tracks and street musicians and girls in torn camisoles and leggings and nose rings, the music and the bars and o my god the food, just stuff you buy at the corner but so much better than anything I've eaten since. I miss all of it. Read this if you can find a copy.
