Amsterdam based Northerner Haworth has produced some intermittently funny youtube videos and 
paintings, now we get the chance to see what our fanziner has to offer in the literary form. Well, it's 
Joyce combined with Portnoy's complaint, and a fantasy alter-ego based on his mate, lacking in full-
on writerly impasto, the best bits are about the art world. A wanky fanstasy about art wankers, and a 
bit more story and he might be on to something. But this slim red pretty volume promises more truth 
than it delivers.
