Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Jim Goads brief career as an underground celebrity has been studded with controversy, from an obscenity trial over a much-reviled rape issue of his online magazine, to a White House shooting in which the perpetrator quoted Goads writing, to a two-and-a-half-year stint in prison for assault. Shit Magnet is his manifesto, written while he was incarcerated. The books theme is guilt how the act of blaming the enemy and slaying him is historys propulsive force.
