The Reluctant Famulus
#94
full letter / 52 pages
Thomas D. Sadler
When The Reluctant Famulus appears in my mailbox I quickly set
aside some time in the easy chair for reading. This zine is always fascinating
cover-to-cover, involving a variety of articles by various writers and a
considerable letters of comment section.
The Reluctant Famulus usually opens with notes from the
editor – this time he muses on a fanzine called Random Jottings #8 about
Richard Nixon, then Smithsonian Magazine, 3-D printing, apparitions on Mars,
pareidolia, Mark Twain, and then we’re off for the rest of the issue, Gene
Stewart discusses the Dan Brown effect on novels, Alfred D. Byrd launches into
the history of Kentucky in the Civil War, Matt Howard traces the obscure
genesis of rock & roll via Indiana & D. D. Ferguson, and we’re not even
halfway through the issue. This is a thinking person’s zine, and I’m thrilled
to be invited to the party as a reader.
