Gonzo Neurotic: The Jerry Stahl Book I’ve Been Waiting For (opens the original)

And now, thirty years after its release, you’re getting a book review. Good news is, the book holds up and you won’t notice the time lapse at all. So if it’s new to you, it’s a new book in some regards. <a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!i_TI!,f_auto,q_auto:
