{"product_id":"9780977055784","title":"Dream Whip","description":"\u003cbr\u003eBill Brown's Dream Whip zine is a raw little chunk of America full of darkened crop-fields and desert moonlight and sad, empty diners. Now in its 14th issue, Dream Whip is a zine with some history behind it. \"I was skateboarding one night, back in early '90s,\" Bill explains over email. \"It was late, and it was cold. I hit a rock and, suddenly, I was lying on my back and the sky was full of shooting stars. I was dizzy for a year. I started doing a zine to take my mind off my broken head. I finally got better, more or less, but the zine kept going.\" The long-running Dream Whip is an informed, articulate, patient piece of existential storytelling. In a tone that's half Ira Glass, half Cometbus, Bill's 344-page pocket-size 14th issue gives us stories of biblical theme parks and border-crossers, of Dutch punks and haunted houses. His is a wide-spanning, optimistic, Technicolored America, more Woody Allen than Kerouac, but always on the road. As says Bill, \"Dream Whip is a bad country song full of open roads and achy hearts and ratty motel rooms where I take stock of how many miles I've gone and how many I've still got to go.\"","brand":"Microcosm Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47008738902256,"sku":"9780977055784","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780977055784_p0.jpg?v=1763881916","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780977055784","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
