Published between 1991 and 1994 Answer Me! became, after only 2 issues, one of the most controversial 'zines ever published. After 4 issues, most 'zine distributors wished it would go away.
The Goads are writers, fed up with the cutting and censoring that goes with freelance article writing. Instead of turning to another line of work, they turned to self-publishing, and created Answer Me!
The Goads don't follow journalistic objectivity- they defy it. If they're interested enough to write about something, they're interested enough to have an opinion about it- and they want to cram it down the throat of everyone on the planet.
From hardcore rappers to suicide to serial and mass murderers, the Goads get into the topics that make most of us squeamish. What makes most people squeamish, though, becomes morbidly fascinating under the Goads' hands.
When it comes time for pure vitriol and hatred, they attack with a sharpened wit and pen. They will make you ashamed to be a man or woman- their hatred covers everything. Misanthropy with guns. They state the facts, state their opinions, and ask no apologies.
This book collects only the first three of the four published issues of Answer Me!, and for most people, just the first issue was offensive. If you've ever wondered what goes through the minds of the shy, quiet people you see daily, this may answer your questions. And if you're one of those shy, quiet people, this collection may answer your dreams.
