Stuart Schuffman: The Worst of Broke-Ass Stuart, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

A love letter to San Francisco from the contemporary court jester / pop culture frugal gadfly that no one asked for but everyone so richly deserves

Who the hell is Broke-Ass Stuart? In the grand journalistic tradition of Ambrose Bierce and Herb Caen, for more than 20 years writer Stuart Schuffman has been chronicling life's adventures as "Broke-Ass Stuart," a San Francisco everyman perpetually scraping by, living paycheck to paycheck while working an astounding assortment of often surreal gigs and questionable "real" jobs. Among his escapades, he has served and knocked back cocktails in hundreds of seedy local bars, eaten an astonishing number of burritos with the best of 'em, traveled the world on someone else's dime, and run for mayor of San Francisco, garnering 20, 000 votes.

The Worst of Broke-Ass Stuart is an unexpected omnibus comprised of engrossing (and occasionally just plain gross) works from his prodigious output, including thoroughly entertaining pieces that highlight the worst of San Francisco's corrupt politics and the best of SF's DIY culture, which originally appeared in the San Francisco Examiner , The Bold Italic , and7x7 magazine, among other well-known (and obscure) publications.

A perfect read for anyone who loves San Francisco... or at least loves to hate it.
