Dave Roche On Subbing

Meet popular zine author Dave Roche and hear him read from his poignant account of substitute teaching. This is "personal" writing at its finest (and the book is only $5), so take a chance and stop by for a signed copy. The book version (from Microcosm) is a "best of" collection from issues 1-4 of the zine.

"I brought this zine to work and couldn't stop laughing as I read it during lunch.... As you can imagine, there's a lot to tell, and David manages to make it both hilarious and sad, without being disrespectful."--Newpages

"If you've ever wondered what goes on in this environment, read this. Taking teenagers to the bathroom, dealing with a screaming autistic boy, and doing art projects for students who are asleep in their wheelchairs are all in a day's work. On Subbing gives a vivid picture of an educational setting most of us know little about, and it's quite sobering."--Xerography Debt
