I enjoyed this much more than expected. I liked the introduction preceding each zine which explains what was going on behind the scenes in Pagan's life and helped to enrich each issue. Due to her style of writing, and despite the fact that the zines themselves were reproduced in excruciatingly tiny print, I often found myself unaware of whether I was reading an intro or a zine. She captivates. My copy has many page corners turned because something she wrote about was so striking that I wanted to read it again and tell others about it: her thoughts about her slave-owning ancestors, her father's battle with cancer, her own battle with healthcare, and, yes, the feminist popcorn recipe! My favorite entry was Tearing Up the Highway which is lengthy but ended much too soon. Although a zine, it rivals any "across America" travelogue, one of my favorite genres. I now have several other Pagan Kennedy books on my wishlist.
