One in a series of posts featuring pages from Hermenaut, a DIY intellectual zine/journal published by HILOBROW’s Josh Glenn from 1992 through 2000-01.
Back cover of issue #2. For a while there, I was doing business as Paradise Enterprises. This was originally a business moniker that John Cradock and I used around the ages of 12–14, say. Before that, it was the name of my alter ego, “Jack Paradise,” a kind of adventurer figure who figured prominently in my imagination. His last name was inspired by my mother’s mother’s (French-Canadian) maiden name, Paradis.
