PACO #1: Nicknames
The very best perzines provide a window into an unfamiliar way of life, and that’s exactly what Silvia does in PACO #1. The theme of the issue is the nicknames she’s had throughout her life, and intertwined with all of them are her stories of growing up and anecdotes about her family. Reading about her relatives making tamales made me feel like I was present at someone else’s family get-together: awkward, but very welcome. 43 pages, half-size vertical, from ilovechebang@yahoo.com.
