Truant is a zine edited by one of my favorite writers I read last year, Nate Lippens. His “My Dead Book” blew my mind and I recommend it to everyone.

I ordered this zine based on the effect “My Dead Book” had on me. The collected authors in this zine do not disappoint. It’s a fantastic read!

A copypaste from the Printed Matter description page:

Truant features writing and art that addresses queer self-exile: the stories of dropouts, throwaways and runaways; how withdrawal can be a matter of survival, refusal and renewal; what we will not do, allow or accept, personally, politically and artistically; and the power of absence as presence.
