Its always nice to see some local Chicago talent getting a little shine! Yesterday I was pleasantly surprised to see the work of Gregory Jacobsen featured in the new issue of Hi Fructose. It seems they chose to run some of his tamer paintings but his work still comes across! So check out the issue or grab Gregory’s show catalog/zine from us before they go for big bucks on ebay.
A fine example of his work!

Love Does Not Make Me Gentle or Kind is a collection of short stories focusing on the formative and tumultuous moments in the lives of two women as children and adults, whose relationship to one another is cast in an ambiguous light, and whose characters are abstracted within the context of each story. Primarily set in rural America and other transient realms, this book combines realism with elements of meta-fiction, magnifying the extraordinary interpersonal worlds created by the circumstances of their outer reality.

Wow the free area is bursting with fat new issues of Vice, ANP Quarterly and Lumpen. So even if the purse strings are a little tight we got you covered this misty gray day. If you got dough then we got the fancy new Gary Panter book in stock and the new issues of Kevin Huizenga’s Ganges #2, plus new issues of Handbook and GLU if you swing that way. Whoa!
