Fanzini Goes to the Movies
John Jack Baylin
Vancouver: John Jack Baylin, 1974.The third issue Fanzini. A short run Canadian queer zine totalling five issues published between 1972 and 1975. “Fanzini was produced by John Jack Baylin, originally as a fauz (or not-so-faux) fanzine to John Dowd, a handsome New York leatherman with a physique reminiscent of a ‘Tom of Finland’ character. Dowd himself provided many of the collages that appear in Fanzini, especially the earlier issues: They tend to combine Walt Disney characters and leathermen. .. Fanzini Goes to the Movies includes contributions by Ray Johnson, Vince Aletti, Peter Hujar, and General Idea. We see that the editor has now made connections to New York’s more radical gay scene of the time, not the gay liberation set, but the intellectual hedonists of the witching hour. The classic FETISH border appears for the first time.” (Queer Zines, Volume One)

After Sex
Edna Bonhomme; Alice Spawls
London: Silver Press, 2023.“The last decade has seen a rise in activism and arguments over women’s reproductive freedom reminiscent of the 1960s and 1970s. This title provides personal and political perspectives from the mid-twentieth century to the present day, setting feminist classics alongside contemporary accounts and highlighting the experiences of women of colour and working-class women. Contributors include Nell Dunn, Anne Enright, bell hooks, Ursula K. Le Guin, Audre Lorde and Sally Rooney. These essays, short stories and poems trace past understandings of reproductive freedom and consider what it might look like in future, making urgent connections between womenÂ’s equality and access to contraception, healthcare and childcare. The writers pay special attention to people — both fictional and real — who have sought control over their sexual lives, and the joy, comedy, difficulties and disappointments that entails. But above all, After Sex testifies to the power of great writing to show us why that freedom is worth pursuing — without shame and without apology.” (publisher’s blurb)
