Always been a big fan of The Stranger. I lived in Seattle in the mid-90s, pre-Internet days, and used to look forward to it every week. In those days it sort of split the difference between a proper weekly and The Onion, throwing in surreal jokes in unexpected places.
Anyway, very nice mention of Zaireeka by Paul Constant that also brings up my favorite book in the 33 1/3 series, Carl Wilson’s Let’s Talk About Love.
