Reading this issue of Answer Me seriously changed my life. It's shocking but in a way that seems to me like surgery not butchery. It introduced me to Peter Sotos writing; I was quite floored by the genius of it. I had the most unnerving reading experience I've ever had when I read it for the first time.
I love the transgressive nature of the articles of this magazine. Sex is such a weird thing to people of course; so confronting the brutality of it in an intellectual manner is in my opinion extremely healthy. And this zine does so and also makes it fun. After a while all the ugly pictures lose their grip and become funny. It's great.
My favorite thing about it is the way it attacks how romanticization is connected to perpetual victimhood. To feel lovable or human should not have to be connected with being seen as a victim or some sort of gentle cross bearer. Goad's article about his mother is so ugly, but that he is completely honest and doesn't put on a false humility, or oh it's no big deal attitude makes what he wrote unforgettable and also cleansing in a strange way. I admire the integrity I see in this Answer Me issue a lot, and I think it inspired me to get rid of a lot of the fluff in my life.

"Rap-music fan Boyd Rice grudgingly endures a T-shirt designer’s embarrassing typo."
