This week, we spoke with Artnoose. Artnoose is a zinester, author, printer, parent, anarchist and more. She gives a brief history of her relationship with art, her long-running personal letter-pressed zine entitled Kerbloom! (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ker-bloom/), how she became an anarchist, the Berkeley Anarchist Study Group, the Cyber Punk Apocalypse fiction-writing house in Pittsburgh, erotica and more!
Later in the conversation we discuss Letters of Insurgents, an epistolary novel written by Fredy Perlman. The book is a series of letters between two characters separated by two decades and a continent and discusses politics, intentions, memory, age, communication, deception and more. There is a free audio version (http://www.audioanarchy.org/letters.html) of the book that Artnoose helped to narrate, it's available in pdf form for free online (http://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/sophia-nachalo-and-yarostan-vochek-letters-of-insurgents) and was just recently reprinted and made available for sale via Left Bank Books (http://leftbankbooks.bigcartel.com/product/letters-of-insurgents-by-fredy-perlman). This episode also features a recording of Aragorn!'s introduction to the new edition of the book. (http://aragorn.anarchyplanet.org)
Artnoose and Aragorn! both participated in the 2010 internet-based reading group of Letters of Insurgents known as Insurgent Summer.
