Low Self-Esteem Reading Room

Low Self-Esteem Reading Room is an unbook; in fact, it was originally The Antibook . LoSERR combines play-like structures, verse, essay-like structures, short stories, illustrations and traditional narrative. It demonstrates lateral thinking, which - my psychology-degreed friends tell me - women tend to have, as opposed to male, vertical thinking. It attempts to mirror a gatherer way of life, as opposed to hunter. There are four main voices at the Low Self-Esteem Reading Room and each of these is the creator of another set of voices. The readings take place in the backroom of Vancouver comic book store, Lucky’s . The stories told by the readers slowly begin to integrate, via portals in space and time.
