Zine Club Chicago Online: PURRzines Edition
7:30 p.m. CT Tuesday, October 26 on Zoom
Free!

Last month, Zine Club Chicago discussed perzines … this month, they’re welcoming the spooky season with a celebration of PURRzines!

Cats of all stripes have slunk across the pages of countless zines and into our hearts.  In October, Zine Club Chicago will be discussing zines about our feline friends and other mysterious creatures (both real and imaginary)! This also will be the group’s annual Hallowzine celebration, so costumes — for humans and #zinepets alike — are highly encouraged.

Grab your fave zines about cats, BYOT(ricks)&T(reats), and join in on Zoom for Zine Club Chicago Online: PURRzines Edition at 7:30 p.m. CT Tuesday, October 26!

** Zoom info ** Zine Club Chicago wants to make sure that its events are a safe space, so the Zoom link won’t be released publicly. If you’d like to attend, please email zineclubchicago@gmail.com to RSVP by 9 p.m. CT Monday, October 25 (the day before the event). You’ll receive the Zoom link by 11 p.m. CT that evening.

Zine newbies and longtime enthusiasts alike are always welcome at Zine Club Chicago, the city’s only book club-style event for people who read zines. This free monthly series is produced by Chicago Zine Fest/Midwest Perzine Fest organizer Cynthia E. Hanifin and sponsored by Quimby’s Bookstore. Anna Jo Beck designs the club’s monthly flyers, created its logo, and made the Zine Club Chicago Shout-Outs site, where folks can peruse and recommend zines.

Anne Elizabeth Moore Talks Perzines and Memoirs with Quimby’s Online Nov 5th

Published on September 28, 2021 0 Comments

7:30 pm

 

Anne Elizabeth Moore’s new book Gentrifier: A Memoir (Catapult Books) is ostensibly about a free house the author was awarded in Detroit in 2016. But after she moves in, pets some cats, and gets to know her delightful neighbors, the murky history of her supposedly free house—more costly than expected—comes to light, illuminating the contemporary American housing crisis. Moore writes about gender, policy, and the downside of capitalism (all of it), plus she includes many jokes, so her books are pretty good. She has been self-publishing since she was 11 and will talk about using zines in a writing practice, and memoir in a self-publishing practice.

Don’t miss Anne on the Quimby’s Instagram, livestreaming on Fri, Nov 5th at 7:30pm CT at instagram.com/quimbysbookstore where she’ll talk with Quimby’s employees and fellow veteran zinesters Liz Mason and Cynthia E. Hanifin, in what promises to be a lively discussion. Because this is a livestreaming workshop event, viewers are encouraged to come prepared with questions to ask about the differences between perzines (as in personal zines) and memoir, moving from one to the other, and incorporating zines into a writing practice and/or memoir writing into a self-publishing practice. Part workshop, part craft talk, part book discussion, part interactive discussion with the audience, this event promises to be fully unpredictable and most definitely fun.

For a limited time! While supplies last, with the purchase of this book, you will get a signed bookplate by Anne Elizabeth Moore, in celebration of this November 5th event! Get Gentrifier at Quimby’s Bookstore here.

“I don’t know how Anne managed to write the funniest book I’ve read in years and the most honest one about the scramble of American life, but she did.” —Jace Clayton, Uproot: Travels in 21st-Century Music and Digital Culture

Anne Elizabeth Moore was born in Winner, SD, and currently lives in the Catskills with her ineffective feline personal assistant, Captain America. In 2019, her book Sweet Little Cunt won an Eisner Award. Body Horror was nominated for a 2017 Lambda Literary Award and a Chicago Review of Books Award, was listed as a 100 Best Books Of All Time on the Political Economy by BookAuthority and named Best Book by the Chicago Public Library. Threadbare made the 2016 Tits & Sass list “Best Investigative Reporting on Sex Work.” Cambodian Grrrl received a 2012 Lowell Thomas Award for Travel Journalism. Unmarketable was Mother Jones’ Best Book of 2007.
