The Flow Chronicles

First book-length collection of the wanderings, musings, lust for life, and stream of consciousness of the Hermitt, as she distorts the boundaries and redefines the lines between hip-hop, punks, queers, fanzine culture, and culture jamming. And she's the best storyteller we've had since Kerouac, or at least Aaron Cometbus, for sure. "Hermitt's writing is equal parts beat poet, riot grrrl, and gangsta rapper, all with a tongue-in-cheek self-consciousness that makes for very entertaining reading." [Al Burian, Burn Collector]

Andre Hewitt, otherwise known as the Urban Hermitt, writes about counterculture, with soul. From hippies to punks to kinky queer people, he\'s got a story to tell. He\s been tellin' these stories for years in the Urban Hermitt fanzine, and his novel, The Flow Chronicles (Microcosm), a story about nightmare hippies and coming out as queer in the midst of LSD induced, heterosexist, rainbow gathering "love". Andre Hewitt has been featured in many publications including Girlfriends and the Zine Yearbook. He has also toured the country with many well known "crust punk bands" and zinesters. Andre lives in San Francisco where he works as a counselor, hangs out in dirty bear fag joints, and performs hip hop. He spends way too much time writing letters and emails explaining to people that he is a trans man. Most people never write him back. He hopes that someday people will "get it."
