5 out of 5 starsAlways love Ayun's writing. Can't wait to read the new book and zine. The work book will be fun, too.

5 out of 5 starsI've been reading this zine for 20 years. I enjoy learning about pieces of Ayun's life written from her unique and humorous voice. As a kid in Nebraska, I would call random numbers from the NYC area code just to get the quick thrill of ACTUALLY saying 'hi' to someone, anyone, from that exotic land. Getting to read about a creative person's life there has been very satisfying. Our kids are also about the same ages so that's been enjoyable as well!
