  • Late Drone Age Civilization: The Fossil Record

    Today the celebrated writer speaking at the 92 Street Y shakes his wiser head, recalling his youthful naiveté. The truth is, he didn’t realize then how brilliant he already was, and these airborne notions, political pieties, flights of surreal nihilism, and so on, crept in as crutches for his then-demure ego.

  • A Stone for Michael Stewart

    Last week you threw away a Crock-Pot your mom gave you for Christmas 20 years ago. What if some terrorist, or some lunatic mistaken for a terrorist, or a terrorist who is a lunatic, as so many are, fished that Crock-Pot out of the garbage and made a bomb from it? Could Mom’s thou… Full story

  • Gary Indiana Has a New Show

    'Gristle Springs' is Gary's first show in over a decade. The long gap is at least partly due to the fact that he is and has always been far more concerned with the integrity of his work than making a buck or a friend. Full story

  • My Big Fat Gay Wedding

    I have a column due today for VICE. No idea for it whatsoever. Tracey said I should just print the email I sent her this morning. J. said, "Oh just write about gay marriage, everybody else is." All right, I’ll combine the two. Full story

  • Puppet Horror

    Hitler is the only individual besides Jesus Christ to exert such unflagging fascination. Jesus because so little is known about him, apart from hearsay. And Hitler because, despite everything being known about him, the ability of a flat-faced crackpot to plunge the world into Göt… Full story

  • Implications of the Horse Meat Scandal

    I don’t recall the exact wording of the note. It was tacked on a corkboard, obscured by notices and fliers, in a basement corridor of Otis Art School, when Otis was in the Wilshire District. Sheree Rose and Bob Flanagan, who took performance art to a place where it really hurt, h… Full story

  • Apes on a Gilded Treadmill

    The really tragic events at Downton Abbey are not Lady Cora’s miscarriage (brought about by the sinister, ever-machinating Miss O’Brien with a strategically placed bar of soap), or Bates’s unjust conviction for killing his wife (who ate a poisoned pie to make her suicide look lik… Full story

  • Let’s Face It

    Writers are not generally celebrities, but I did have one delirious fan. He kept me on the telephone for hours every night, during a period when I was snorting heroin to cure my insomnia. He terrorized me with idolatry. According to him, I was the only writer in the world worth r… Full story

  • Reality Check

    I can’t tell you much of a personal nature about Sunando Sen. I only knew him as a helpful, pleasant, intelligent person who worked at the NY Copy and Printing Center at the end of my block for many years. On December 28th, a deranged woman with a history of violence named Erika… Full story

  • Flu Season

    Fun fact: After a suicide bombing, forensic investigators immediately “look for the face mask.” The shock waves from an explosion blow the bomber’s head to smithereens but for some reason leave the face intact as a sort of peeled, rubbery pentimento of the missing person, like a… Full story
