OverviewUrban Hermitt, a young, queer hiphop artist, poet, and hard-traveler, is the center of this celebrated zine. His picaresque look at queer life and love begins with a teenage Hermitt navigating a dirty, pock-marked trailer park landscape of sketchy stoners, confused punks, and sinister hippies. A raw, druggy, sexed-up, coming-of-age story, it is irreverently humorous with tender moments in the midst of horror.

The author is really multi-dimensional, making me feel at ease and uncomfortable at the same time. It's about growing up and standing up, with Hermitt's first move to Seattle at only 18. 'Interview with an actual, authentic lesbian' showed a different side of this brash, unapologetic person. He made tactless a desirable trait, and self-discovery less painful. The grammatical errors seemed intentional, the fake letters had me giggling and Hermitt's realistic representation of adventures at a liberal arts school were endearing. With more underground perspectives and queer culture than you can shake a stick at, Hermitt never misses a beat with this coming-of-age punk ethics crash course. Here's yet more proof that stoner/hippies are probably the greatest people you'll ever meet. Not that I met this one, but Hermitt's able to have a presence on paper that most authors would give their right hand for. You have to admire someone who says that Apricot beer tastes like pussy, even though they've never tasted it. This book has more energy and generates more laughs than most of your friends in real life. --Jessaruh, Feminist Review Author InformationUrban Hermitt is the author of the zine, The Urban Hermit, which documents his lifestyle and travels in the Pacific Northwest, Northern California, and Hawaii.
