FAN A COLLECTION OF BASEBALL RANTS AND REFLECTIONS (Blue Cubicle Press, 2013) is an anthology of the best musings culled from over 15 years of the critically acclaimed Zisk zine -- the so-called Baseball Magazine For People Who Hate Baseball Magazines. Edited by Mike Faloon (Go Metric, Egghead.) and Steve Reynolds (Trouser Press, Party Like It s 1999) and featuring contributions from academics to punk rockers, comedians to fans with an ax to grind, FAN INTERFERENCE examines the intersection of baseball, lifestyle and music -- all colored with bit of nostalgia, a great deal of humor and, often, a tongue planted firmly in cheek.
Mike Faloon is a former DJ, dishwasher, and drummer. He is the author of The Hanging Gardens of Split Rock and the co-editor of Fan Interference. Faloon co-founded Go Metric and Zisk zines and has contributed to Cabildo Quarterly, Cashiers du Cinemart, Razorcake, Submerging Writers, and Vol. 1 Brooklyn. His latest book is The Other Night at Quinn’s (Razorcake/Gorsky), a collection of music essays about the free jazz scene that emerged at a diner in upstate New York.
