Of course I will be delighted if you subscribe to Proust Said That, but here are a few other publications that I heartily recommend:
Rough Draft
P.O. Box 426392
San Francisco, Ca 94142-6392
Rough Draft will arrive monthly, advising you of a remarkable assortment of activities created by members of The San Francisco Cacophony Society. You never know entirely what to expect, but as you get to know these folks you will be certain to expect a lot. $12.00 for one year, $20.00 for two years.
Twisted Times
P.O. Box 271222
Concord, CA 94527-1222
Stuart Mangrum's wonderful publication covers much of the most bizarre and interesting elements of contemporary culture. Recent issues have covered some of the most maniacal recent hijinx of The Cacophony Society, the fabulous Burning Man, m y silly Halloween in jail, Survival Research Laboratories, and plenty else. Send him cash: for domestic orders, $10.00 for four issues, for international orders, $20.00 for four issues... or $3.00 for a single issue.
Fat!So?
P.O. Box 423464
San Francisco, CA 94142
Fat!So?, a zine "for people who don't apologize for their size", is the clever product of my friend and neighbor Marilyn Wann. Since I am Sicilian, I have grown up in a culture that regards being quite thin as a sad, but potent ially solvable, situation. American popular culture works hard at convincing us that skinny is the way to go; Marilyn and her contributors say poo-poo in a most delightful fashion. $12.00 for four issues.
Hysteria
Box 8581 Brewster Station
Bridgeport, CT 06605
Hysteria, a quarterly magazine of women's humor, is the creation of Deborah Werksman, who formerly published the amusing Quayle Quarterly. Not only is this funny, but she's also recently published a piece of mine. One year subscriptio ns, four issues, are $18.00, one issue is $4.95. Outside the US, add $8.00 for a year, or $2.00 for a single issue.
