"There should be a science of discontent. People need hard times and oppression to develop psychic muscles."
- from "Collected Sayings of Muad'Dib" by the Princess Irulan in Frank Herbert's Dune
My friends Patrick Barber, Craig Gates, and I put together a new zine called discontents. It covers our usual concerns of music, movies, books, and creative writing. We reached out to all of our old zine-era friends, so it includes writing by Cynthia Connolly, Peter Relic, Andy Jenkins, Spike Jonze, Fatboi Sharif, Timothy Baker, and Greg Pratt, artwork by Zak Sally and Tae Won Yu, as well as work by Patrick, Craig, and myself. Subjects include Ceremony, Unwound, Hsi-Chang Lin a.k.a. Still, Charles Yu's Interior Chinatown, Crestone director Marnie Elizabeth Hertzler, Coherence director James Ward Byrkit, and others.
