| Chris Shoup has written a "Thin" Novel (called a thin novel because he hates the term "Novella") about a man named Kenneth, his strange relationship with a girl, his backwater family and travel. He leaves his current home and job web mastering hundreds of porn sites when his mom calls him in a panic about his missing brother and a man with horns who she is positive is involved in the disappearance.
Chris says this novel was written in grocery store lines and at stoplights over a period of a few years and tries to flow as the beats of the heart, one scene flowing into the next with each beat. He is now working on his next thin novel which he says "kicks even greater ass" |

| In Illinois, in the Kankanee area, Chris and his friend Steve had a drunken revelation that what they needed in that town was a zine. Usually a contributor based zine, issue 3 was entirely made up of Chris' own work. Photography, stories, journal entries, and political opinions all in one issue often make for a cluttered reading experience, but with "Kankazine" they compliment each other. My favorite piece was the Young People Political Collage Contest Winners. I wish I had done it first, and if I can find a way I will convince the world that Chris stole the idea from me.
This is a fine zine and I look forward to the next issue. |
