In Hi Friend, Jess Hilliard unpacks the strange, tender, and absurd, drawing us into a world where train rides become odysseys, fleeting encounters hum with mystery, and the small details of life—coffee cups, stray pennies, the hum of fluorescent lights—take on the weight of myth. With Chris Johanson’s restless, evocative drawings woven into the text, this book becomes something richer, stranger, and more alive. Funny, poignant, and endlessly surprising, Hi Friend transforms the ordinary into something close to magic.

Softcover/Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Johanson, Chris (illustrator). This is a collection of short descriptions of what I was experiencing in the early '90s. I was mostly homeless back then, either living in a small trailer that wasn't hooked up to anything, or living in my grampa's 1971 truck camper, which also was never hooked up to anything. I would do a lot of my writing by hand in those two vehicles, mostly on tiny scraps of paper or on a manual typewriter. I remember sometimes just heating my hands with a burning candle, and the police would sometimes harass me about not having an address, and I could also sometimes hear people talking as they walked past the vehicles I was living in, trying to stay very quiet, so no one would know I was in there. But I liked writing in those cramped little spaces, for some reason. I felt separate from everything. It felt important. So, Harrell began collecting those scraps that were scattered randomly in boxes that I stored at various friends' houses and sorted them to help make a more coherent collection of stories. And while he was typing out my scraps, I would sometimes sleep over at his house, on the floor, drinking beer and eating toast, wondering how the book would turn out, and why he was doing it, and HOW he was doing it, because there were hundreds of these little scraps of paper.
