"[S]creamingly funny yet deadly serious... A review can’t really do Beckerman’s book justice... Nor is it easy to do justice to the genius of his writing..."
—The Moderate Voice
Marty Beckerman, 27, is the author of Dumbocracy, Generation S.L.U.T.and Death to All Cheerleaders. He has written for Playboy, Discover, Reason, Radar, Huffington Post, New York Press, Salon.com and the Daily Beast, and has been featured by the New York Times, the Atlantic, Gawker, MSNBC, ABC News, Fox News Channel and National Public Radio. Hunter S. Thompson once called him a "morbid little bastard," which Beckerman considers the greatest compliment of his career.
Originally from Anchorage, Alaska, Beckerman lives in New York City, just one professional asshole amongst millions.
Jewcy has posted my holiday column from last year. (I would write another holiday column this year, but unlike you I always get it right the first time.)
Between 2002-2004 I relentlessly bashed an author my age whose success I envied/resented. (My tirades appeared in New York Press, New York, the New York Daily News,New York Post, and every other publication with New York in the title.) We recently sat down for an interview, and I offered an olive branch.
