Tobias Carroll at Vol. 1 Brooklyn profiles This Is Not a Camera alongside Tiff Zilla and Anne Carson in his Zinophile column. 

Some of the pieces are observational, with notes about the work environment itself or explorations of minutiae that one might encounter in that realm. Others use the setting to examine larger issues: questions of national identity and immigration policy among them. And there are a few others where Ruland recounts bits of relevant history; he’s an excellent storyteller, and there’s a lot to enjoy here.

You can still get a copy of This Is Not a Camera for under a buck (or pay what you want, IDC).
