Description: This typewritten quarter-size issue of Messy Eater  by left-handed Elka Nance is arranged left-handedly, so the pages run opposite to the expected direction. The 19-year-old art school student addresses issues of shyness, body image and obesity, racism, her relationship with her father, sexuality and queerness, alcoholism, high school, losing friendships, and dreams. This zine also includes a list of book recommendations and zine reviews, as well as photobooth photos and ink illustrations.
