Doris: An Anthology of Doris Zines from 1991-2001
Doris: An Anthology of Doris Zines from 1991-2001 | Cindy Crabb
1 post | 1 read
Cindy writes her zine, Doris, like she is figuring out the human condition. She makes writing about the simplest and most common things - playing music, childhood, cooking, or sex - resonate with universal understanding. She helps us make sense of more complex things like the satisfaction from doing useful work, natural curiosity, the ability to use logic, gender dynamics, introspection, the need for challenge and change, combating depression, and creating art and literature. She shares and explores the emotions that go along with having an abortion, rape, dealing with the death of family, or sexual harassment in a context that is enlightening and personal, feeling like a close friend opening up to you. What's most impressive though is that she relates these things into every article in her zine seamlessly.

"...an achingly lovely collection of humanness. Cindy Crabb's restlessness is contagious... so too is her insatiable hunger for connection, meaning, and some lingering magic in this life, existing somewhere between silver spoons and convention. Her exploration of social resistance methods and the grit that largely goes unsaid serves as an urgent plea to get off your ass and reconsider everything you thought you knew..." -LydiaTheIntern #WhatWeRead
