Julian Evans of Montreal writes a thoughtful articulate little zine. He tells the story of Alexander Grothendieck, a famous mathematician born to Anarchist parents. This story was unknown to him, before he hitched a ride with Czech mathematician on his way to a mathematics conference. Here's a quote from Grothendieck himself, "and every science, when we understand it not as an instrument of power and domination but as an adventure in knowledge pursued by our species across the ages, is nothing but this harmony, more or less vast, more or less rich, from one epoch to another, which unfurls over the course of generations and centuries, by the delicate counterpoint of all themes appearing in turn, as if summoned from the void." That's some pretty powerful stuff. There's also an intimate piece about his friend Birch colapsing in pain, and a week spent in the hosptial while she undergoes surgery. At the same time there's a shooting at a university nearby and the hospital is flooded with injured people. Includes a "love" letter to author Jeanette Winterson.
