Jerry Stahl-author of PERMANENT MIDNIGHT, OG
DAD, I, FATTY and more, speaks about wild days of drug addiction, beating
Hep C, and the problem with
Hillary Clinton. The brilliant author laments being too young for
Gonzo journalism at
Rolling Stone, being big in
Europe but not in the US, and the perils of being in limbo waiting for your optioned book to be made into a movie. His books, work on MARON, and the dark days of the
LA Riots are all torn through on
Harper Simon’s
Talk Show.
