I'm a long time fan of Martha's writing, and this zine is one of my favorites. The dialogue between Martha and her family members over chores and shared living spaces is funny enough to make you laugh out loud, but also crisply poignant in depicting the idiosyncrasies and vulnerabilities that are often revealed when people are in their most familiar company. I lent it to my roommate and she devoured it in less than an hour and then wanted to borrow more of Martha's work. Support this great artist!
