Gonzo Neurotic: The Best (and Not So Best) of Jerry Stahl Jerry Stahl

“Jerry Stahl should either get the Pulitzer prize or be shot down in the street like a dog.” 

—Anthony Bourdain

“[A] career-spanning collection . . . Stahl is funny, self-aware and very much in on his own ‘professional ex-junkie’ act . . . But he’s a more sober observer than he lets on . . . Stahl is his own vivid comic invention. Life whooshes past him like arrows, and some of those arrows stick in his guts.”

—Dwight Garner, The New York Times Book Review

Fifty years of sex, drugs, show business, and bad behavior from the inimitable laureate of American excess, Jerry Stahl.
