How does one describe Vanilla Crow? Answer: it’s quirky. In fact, this is perhaps the quirkiest litzine to come out of B.C. I know of. I mean everything from the cover (showing a toy motorcycle going down a real street) to the literature contained inside is, well, quirky. You discover this immediately when you open up Vanilla Crow and start reading Jan Lars Jensen’s story “Higher Orders Of Paper Jam” (a truly touching story about the problems with today’s document imaging systems). The feeling of quirkiness continues right to the very end with David Leach’s story “Drifting.” Probably the highlight of Vanilla Crow though is Derek Fairbridge’s own Burger King-poutine-eating story “Concessions”. I don’t know what they’re putting in the water up there in Penticton B.C., but Derek Fairbridge certainly has his mouth under the tap. (DP)
