The Flow Chronicles is the confused, horny, philosophical nomadic Hermitt against the world. A raw, druggy, sexed-up coming-of-age story, a battle from the get-go but it comes complete with a good eye for irreverent, sharp, no-bullshit humor (and for the tender moments in the midst of horror.) Once a member of the controversial Underground Literary Alliance, Hermitt is a real-deal storyteller and good god is there a story to tell..."Hi. My name is Hermitt. Not like a Hermitt who lives in a cave or is a wing-nut saint. Hermitt, as in one of those weird names someone just has." Thus begins the story of Urban Hermitt, a young, queer hiphop artist, poet, and hard-traveler. For those familiar with the celebrated Urban Hermitt zine, his picaresque look at queer life and love, this book is the genesis and cornerstone of it all. Here we see the then-teenage Hermitt navigating a dirty, pockmarked trailer park landscape of sketchy stoners, confused punks, and sinister hippies.
I remember getting this zine in the early 00s from the zinester. I loved it. Sadly, I lost most of my copies thanks to the million times I've moved. The writing is wonderful and I'm so excited to have all this goodness packaged together. It's great to see someone so talented "make it". Bravo!!!
