Dream Whip #14

by Bill Brown

In the latest installment of the Dream Whip zine there are stories of biblical theme parks, border-crossers, Dutch punks, and haunted houses. It depicts a wide-spanning, optimistic, Technicolor America, more Woody Allen than Kerouac, but always on the road.

[Kate · Rating 3 out of 5]

The past is a place you just keep getting farther away from.

In Austin it was impossible to go on a simple errand without falling in love.

Everything is polite but nothing is the same.

There's nothing to go back to, and there's nothing to keep you around.

Bill Brown's thick little zine is chock full of interesting tidbits, knowledgeable insights, lonely travels across the U.S., across the ocean on a ship, and in France. This is one of the most well-written and interesting zines out there, so you would do yourself a favor by picking it up.

A kind of travel diary, well writen and pretty engaging. The world seen through a really romantizised hobo, punk, American, lense though. So you need to be in the right frame of mind.
