The contents of Box 9, including Boy Oh Boy by Zachary Doss, an introduction by Joel Hans, two postcards and a bookmark.

“The stories in Boy Oh Boy are never satisfied with reactions. They are about the imperfect solutions we hope will salve the places where we hurt, the belief systems we create to make our world easier to understand, or to mourn. They are brief intersections of person, strangeness, and creation—like what happens inside of a particle accelerator.”

The ninth issue of Manzanita Papers, released May 2022. Joel Hans recommended Zachary Doss’ Boy Oh Boy.
