About the Book:
Find out where it all started for Pagan Kennedy… Zine: How I Spent Six Years of My Life in the Underground and Finally… Found Myself… I Think is a book compiling all eight issues of the zine Pagan’s Head.
A young woman named Pagan, just graduated from a writing program at a very prestigious university, is left with one burning question – Now what? She then takes an unusual step by deciding to invent her new self – the one the public will know – by creating her own magazine, written, created by, and starring none other than herself.
This is a do-not-miss glimpse into the culture of the 90s, and the development of the “Queen of the Zines.”DC.

“Kennedy’s delightful chronicle is enough to make you want to pick up a pen and start your own personal fanzine or put on some platforms and dance in the street.”
“Kennedy emerged from a graduate writing program with more creativity than employability. As she explains with the insight and humor . . . she solved the problem that situation posed via her ‘zine. She inserts plenty of delightful comic strips, fumati, and prose from the ‘zine into the narrative, and she offers a look at the slacker generation sans the usual belittling and reproof.”
