Lived It, Survived It, Wrote a Book About It – Nonfiction

Writer and musician Brian Cullman‘s How to Prepare for the Past: Travels in Music and Time is a rapturous evocation of life in the bike lane, before AI and before the world became digital, a time when music was everything and magic was everywhere, encompassing friendships with Lester Bangs, Nick Drake, Big Joe Turner, Tim Hardin, and Paul Bowles. In Gonzo Neurotic: The Best (and Not So Best) of Jerry Stahl, Stahl brings together the New Journalism that shaped his singular voice, ricocheting between porn sets, televangelists, undertaker conventions, recovery culture, and Hollywood grotesquerie. Spanning the 1970s to the 2020s, Stahl charts his own mental and physical struggles alongside profiles of Marlon Brando, Samuel L. Jackson, and Benicio del Toro.
