Product Description

Written in real time over seven days, THE BOOK OF F**K is a short, sharp, pun-addled pulp fiction pastiche where the absurd underworld of music and reality are exaggerated to new dimensions. Following the frantic movements if a rock fan on the trail of America’s public enemy number one, THE BOOK OF FUCK is a buckled break-neck rant let loose at punk rock speed, literature that comes none more black.

Echoing the energy and urgency of the music that inspired it – short, sharp and pure in intention - advance copies of THE BOOK OF F**K have already fallen fowl of censors in certain countries due to its uncompromising title, leading one Italian newspaper to describe as "an insult to literature" and one UK chain of bookstores to ban it.
The book really was written in one long seven day-sitting, leading Time Out to describe it as "Something odd but irresistible that’s both poetry, prose and a punk rock protest song…yet neither one nor the other."

John Robb, City Life (Manchester)
"In a world of scrubbed-up pop star tossers, the counter culture still burns fiercely."

The Guardian, February 2004
"A hilariously rendered tale....if Bukowski liked heavy metal, this is would be the result."

"One of our best rock ‘n’ roll writers. He makes you want to form a band or make a noise!"

Customer Reviews

Fear and loathing at the turn of a Century
The Book Of Fuck is an entertaining and brave voyage into the realms of 'gonzo' literature. Fast-paced, witty and full of surprises, this book goes a long way to fill the void between British and US styles of writing. Influenced heavily by the late-great writers of a depressed America, Myers has captured a certain style and uniquely made it his own. Highly recommended.
