More copies of this ISBN:Murder At the Conspiracy Conventionby Paul Krassner
Synopses & ReviewsDescription:Writings collected in this volume include recent articles from the Los Angeles Times, LA Weekly, Playboy, George, High Times, In These Times, and Penthouse. From John Lennon to JonBenet Ramsey, from Charles Manson to Monica Lewinsky, from Timothy McVeigh to America's New War on terrorism, Krassner once again proves that he is one of the smartest, funniest, and most incisive political and cultural critics writing today. About the AuthorPaul Krassner has been making countercultural history for more than forty years.
Paul Krassner calls himself an investigative satirist. The FBI labeled him ?a raving, unconfined nut.? ?The FBI was right,? said George Carlin. ?This man is dangerous--and funny; and necessary.? Krassner published The Realist from 1958 to 2001. His style of personal journalism constantly blurred the line between observer and participant. He interviewed a doctor who performed abortions when illegal, then ran an underground abortion referral service; covered the antiwar movement, then cofounded the Yippies with Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin; published material on the psychedelic revolution, then took LSD with Tim Leary, Ram Dass, and Ken Kesey. He was a cofounder of the Youth International Party, the Yippies. A former Merry Prankster, he has counted among his friends Ken Kesey, Lenny Bruce, Groucho Marx (who took LSD with the author), Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Bob Dylan, the Grateful Dead, John Lennon, and Larry Flynt. Founder/editor of the journal The Realist, funded by Lyle Stuart in the late 1950s, Krassner is considered by some to be the most outrageous cultural critic of his era. People magazine referred to Krassner as ?father of the underground press,? but he immediately demanded a paternity test. He is the only person in the world ever to win awards from both Playboy and the Feminist Party Media Workshop. In November 2001, at the fourteenth annual Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam, he was inducted into the Counterculture Hall of Fame.
