I have a brand new book coming out January 30th called Subculture Vulture
And it is three things. It is a comedy. It is a memoir. And it is a history of six of America's... The six of America's subcultures that have defined me and my life. They are AA in the 12 steps. Deafness and sign language interpreting. And the ASL movement. Burning Man where I worked for 15 years. The rave scene where I was a promoter and a DJ. And a sober ecstasy dealer from ages 16 to like 25. And stand-up comedy. And Hasidic Judaism. These are the worlds that have kind of created me.
And so it's a book in six scenes basically. And each of the scenes gets like a comedic historical rundown from the very beginning. It's truly just a comedic history.
It's coming out on Random House.
