Description

During his tenure in the Hustler trenches, punk-rock dropout Allan MacDonell ascends from entry-level comma-catcher to editorial overlord of the unseemly offerings at Larry Flint Publications. Here is the inside story of running America's most influential porn domain. This is a wildly entertaining memoir about life climbing the bent and fearsome masthead of an infamous magazine and the bittersweet reward of publicly crossing its hillbilly Caesar. Cover art by Daniel Clowes.
