Why subscribe?

Twenty years ago someone asked me what I wanted to accomplish in my life. I said I wanted to be the great pain in the ass of American history. I think there’s still time. But I need your help.

For most of the last fifteen years I’ve been writing online and in print for Rolling Stone magazine. I’ve also written books for Spiegel and Grau, a Penguin/Random House imprint, including four New York Times bestsellers.

I’m still going to write for Rolling Stone and will still write books. But there are some projects I’ve never been able to do that, with your help, I hope now to finish.

What you will get:

This will be the place where I will publish everything I’ve always wanted to write, but could not get permission to do: from serialized books to journalism to creative writing to contests and giveaways to pranks.

The first thing you will get will be a new book in serial form I’m writing with an Anonymous co-author. It’s called The Business Secrets of Drug-Dealing: Adventures of the Unidentified Black Male.

Down the road there will be other serial projects, interspersed with podcasts, interviews, and literary oddities of the sort I could never publish before.

FAQ

How can I read a subscriber update?

You can read a subscriber-only update in email, or on the website. If you click through from your email you will be automatically logged in. If you come to the website separately, you can log in through the Membership page.

Can I forward the emails?

When it comes to the free posts, spread them as far and as wide as you like, on whatever platform you currently prefer. Occasionally forwarding subscribers-only emails is just fine too.
