Pushpin Zines - Burn Collector #15

Burn Collector #15

Al Burian is my favourite zinester, hands down. If you haven’t read any of the Burn Collector books and zines then it's about time you started. If you’ve ever been unemployed, travelled around in the cheapest way possible or lived in a ridiculous rented house, then you’ll love it. If you haven’t done any of those things then Al Burian will make living a transient penniless creative life sound the the most awesome thing ever.

Now living in Berlin, BC #15 starts with a woe-filled and hilarious tale on the issues of toothache when you have no money and continues to entertain with stories of Berlin and its residents. It also includes an interview with fellow Berliner Liam Warfield and an essay on the Berlin Wall by Anne Elizabeth Moore, plus book, music and airport reviews.

Customer Reviews

Al Burian’s Burn Collector zine has been one of my favorite reads since I first came across it several years ago. It doesn’t come out often and each issue is a surprise. I find it so entertaining because Al is able to write about the most mundane of subjects with such an illuminated insight that is both profound and humorous at the same time. Maybe that paints things with the ‘amazing brush’ a little too thick. OK, let’s try again. Generally, Burn Collector reflects on a myriad of topics that are fairly blasé’ by everyday standards. But there’s a stream-of-conscious sort of way they are written about that asks much broader questions, looks at things from a skewed angle, and comes up with some really clever insights.
