Street Librarian
An update from the Utne stacks
July / August 2004
Chris Dodge Utne magazine
Global Outlook covers political stories that
aren't published widely. Issue #7 presents compelling evidence of
9/11-related government cover-ups, articles about the
militarization of space, and an ardent call by Arundhati Roy to
resist imperialist war. Not the sort of thing to take to an
airport, unless you're prepared to be detained -- thus, important
to read. $21/4 issues ($25 in Canada) from Box 222, Oro, ON L0L
2X0, Canada;

Boy Trouble used to be a zine. Now -- with a
10th anniversary issue (#5) -- it's a perfect-bound book. Robert
Kirby and David Kelly's collection of 'gay boy comics with a new
attitude' features material by Michael Fahy, Ivan Velez, and other
men, but also includes the Camper sisters, Leanne Franson, and G.B.
Jones. Like licorice: sweet and twisted. $8.95 from 2400 NW 80th
St. #147, Seattle, WA 98117.
The Gospel According to Thoreau
One hundred fifty years ago a book was published to limited
acclaim. Slowly it grew into a massive oak. Drawn from the journals
of Henry David Thoreau, Walden is a masterpiece of wit,
philosophy, economics, natural science, and exuberant description
of the physical world, from ants to ice.
