About the Artist
Jim Goad first gained notoriety in the early 1990s as the editor and chief writer of the infamous ANSWER Me! magazine, a publication which, directly or indirectly, was responsible for an obscenity trial, a White House shooting, and the suicides of three British youths. Following the release of his critically acclaimed first book, The Redneck Manifesto (Simon & Schuster, 1997) Goad spent two years in prison for beating up his psychotic stripper girlfriend, during which time he penned his vitriolic autobiography, Shit Magnet (Feral House, 2002), which The New York Press called a "relentlessly sad, ugly, hateful, raging, repellent, violent and brutally candid memoir-manifesto. It's as hard to put down as it is to read."
